The Arroyo Book Club has made a habit of reading a Shakespeare play each December for a number of years now. With this in mind, December's book is Macbeth by William Shakespeare
“As it begins so will it end. Behind every successful man is an ambitious woman, and behind the Scottish Thane of Cawdor is his wife, Lady Macbeth. Together they will plot the death of a king, and all else who stand in their path towards absolute power.
But guilt-stoked madness and paranormal visitation lie ahead, and the man who kills in the night will come to understand that what begins in blood will end in blood.”
There will be copies of the book available at the library in the usual location (just ask staff if you don’t know where that is).
If you’d like to view the play there are a number of options.
- Kit Monkman’s Macbeth (2020). Available on Hoopla here
- Jeremy Freeston’s Macbeth (1997). Available on Hoopla here
- Rupert Goold’s Macbeth (2003). Available on Kanopy here
- BBC’s Shakespeare Series Macbeth (1983). Available on Kanopy here
We will meet to discuss the book on December 23 at 3:00. If you can’t join us in person but would like to follow along remotely please send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can add you to the link list.
