Jim Solomon joins Commonwealth Shakespeare Company to celebrate William Shakespeare’s 451st birthday on Thursday, April 23rd. The Bard loved a good banquet, as witnessed in his plays, and Solomon will lead a cooking class on Elizabethan food culture, updated for modern tastes. The class runs from 6:00-9:00pm and costs $75 per person. Those who’d rather eat than cook can show up at 7:30pm and enjoy the feast for $38 per person. The evening will include readings from the great writer’s canon and a background on the man himself. Pick up a ticket online at BCAE.org.
