Play Reading is a popular activity that brings the IAS community together to read plays. The group meets at 7:00 pm on several evenings this year in the Fuld Hall Common Room. The readings are not performances, so you need not be ‘experienced.’ Everyone is given a part to read, but if you prefer to just listen to the play instead of reading a role, come and sit back with a glass of wine and some ‘nibbles’ and enjoy the evening. All are warmly welcome! 

Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy (adapted by Helen Edmundson) centers on the doomed extramarital affair between the beautiful Anna and the dashing cavalry officer Count Vronsky and its tragic unraveling. Contrasting with this destructive love is a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself in the figure of Levin, an idealistic man striving to find meaning in life.
