7:30pm | Free

Roberto Palumbo, playwright and Professor Emerita (Holy Names University), will present the story of the secret courtship of young, robust Robert Browning and older, frail Elizabeth Barrett, including several of Elizabeth’s famous sonnets: from her desire for death to her acceptance of life with Robert – certainly a story of “love gone good.”

Seating will be limited, so please RSVP to hold a space. There is no charge to attend and light refreshments will be served.
