GRT: Station Eleven’s Shakespearean Motifs with Mark Schenker

Mark Schenker of Yale College presents a three-part series on Emily St John Mandel’s Station Eleven, Romeo and Juliet, and The Tempest.

Station Eleven, this year’s Greenwich Reads Together selection, is a science fiction novel that examines the relation between culture and community, and between the art of survival and the survival of art — whether that of Shakespeare’s plays or of comic books.

Tuesday, Oct. 4: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
Tuesday, Nov. 1: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Tuesday, Dec. 6: The Tempest by William Shakespeare
