Aesthetic Realism and the Drama by Eli Siegel

Everyone who is interested in the drama, will want to attend this great event at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street, in SoHo—next month!

SATURDAY, APRIL 23 8PM

We celebrate Shakespeare's birthday with

AESTHETIC REALISM & THE DRAMA by Eli Siegel—including scenes from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and John Banks' 1728 play The Earl of Essex: A Tragedy

“In the drama, there has to be some feeling of fight, however faint; but the fight is never of strangers. There is always, when drama is most dramatic, a fight of people who are for each other…. Romeo and Juliet is about two families fighting. And two people are together, knowing something also wants them apart.”

“SCIENCE IS LOVABLE” from The Aesthetic Nature of the World by Eli Siegel
