 Et tu, Brute?
The eight annual Weldon Literary Moot is soon to be in session!
Family, friendship, and death! The righteous Julius Caesar has been murdered by his closest confidants, including his closest companions, Brutus and Cassius. Together, Marc Antony, lamenting his friend, and Octavian, seeking vengeance for his uncle, are suing the great Brutus and Cassius.
Each side is getting ready to call their witnesses and address the court. Local lawyers and several third year students will argue the case before Justice Jamie Campbell of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court! Law professors and local actors will be in costume as characters from one of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays!
The moot will take place on Wednesday, March 21st, 2018 @ 7:30pm in Room 105.
Everyone is welcome!
Tickets will be available both at the door and in advance:
Students 8$
General 12$

'Each Book A Drum - Ten Years of Halifax Humanities'
On May 28, at the University of Kings' College we launched our tenth anniversary anthology, Each Book a Drum. This volume celebrates 10 years of a unique and life-transforming educational experience where adults living on low incomes come together with university professors to discuss and read together great texts of Western Civilization such as Homer's Odyssey, Dante's Divine Comedy, Shakespeare's Othello, and Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. A great read for those who care about education and who want to take a journey of the mind as seen from very different points of view. We are honoured that George Elliott Clarke, Poet Laureate of Toronto, and Honourary Patron of Halifax Humanities, has written our preface.
It is now available in Halifax at BookMark on Spring Garden Rd. and at the University of Kings College Bookstore. It is also available from Amazon.ca
