Of books of scandal🔥 In 1960, in a trial of the scandalous book Lady Chatterley’s Lover London prosecutor asked the jury whether a novel was a book they would “even wish your wife or your servants to read”. The jury found Penguin Books not guilty, and the first 200,000 copies of the book sold in a single day.  Next week, our Curiosity Tour Banned, Burned and Buried goes into the world of books that someone judged dangerous, and asks what they tell us about the evolving mores and morals. What: Curiosity Tour “Banned, Burned and Buried” When: Wed, 11 November  19:30–21:00  Where: Virtual lounge (Online) Register at glitterati.ru

Chekhov called it a stupid vaudeville. 🎭 The Bear is a one-act comedy by Chekhov who joked that he had written a stupid vaudeville that was enjoying surprising success precisely because it was stupid. On Wednesday 4 November we read it aloud together in English, in an atmospheric place in the city. ‼️All the seats are now booked: the play has only 3 parts, so even with a rotating cast we want to keep this first reading cosy. It will not be the last. If you would like to hear about the next staged reading, or tell us which play you would like to read, write to us or leave a comment. And the rest of November is still open, with plenty to join. More at glitterati.ru
