From Page to Stage: Readings of Award Winning Dramas offers a unique rendezvous for theater enthusiasts. Meeting monthly, members immerse themselves in award-winning English-language plays that span various cultural backgrounds. With plays typically being two acts, and featuring 6-10 characters, the group works to ensure a gender balance among authors and a rich representation from British, Irish, American, and Scottish playwrights.For those with a penchant for dissecting literary masterpieces, WICE offers several options:
Storyscapes: Where Art Meets Text offers a singular experience, seamlessly blending the worlds of literature and art. Participants first delve into a chosen novel and subsequently embark on a guided tour of renowned museums such as the Louvre or Musée d'Orsay, where they use art pieces that resonate with the narrative's plot points, themes, characters, events, or locales to foster deeper connections and enriching discussions. Lastly, Author Readings is a real treat for bibliophiles. Several times a year, WICE becomes the platform where novelists, poets, short story writers, and memoirists share their creations, allowing members an intimate glimpse into the author's world. In essence, WICE's Literature program is a celebration of the written word, fostering connections and discussions, and enriching the cultural fabric of its community.
