About the talk

Life’s problems are often best approached in companionship with a story that offers guidance, but what guidance that is can vary considerably. The Hamlet in the Hospital project involves small groups performing readers’ theatre and then talking about how the play might be a companion in their work and lives. In this talk, Frank will discuss how in these discussions, they practice what he calls “vulnerable reading;” that is, reading to discover how a literary work can be a companion during times of suffering.
