The Shakespeare Weekend at The Orchard Inn is once again in the works!  Pamela Royston Macfie, Samuel R.

The March 19-21, 2010  weekend begins with the gracious hour Friday at 6:00 PM and an overview of Elizabethan drama.  There follows dinner by reservation.  Dinner at the Inn is an extraordinary experience in itself, with four courses and a mountain view to boot.  Saturday morning after a scrumptious breakfast, Professor Macfie will discuss the first play (Hamlet or Twelfth Night)  and adjourn before lunch.  Guests have that afternoon for lunching, hiking, napping, shopping or reading.  The group reconvenes about 4:30 for the second play, followed by another memorable dinner.  Sonnets will be on the agenda Sunday morning after breakfast, and the weekend will close by 11 AM.
