Humanity's Opposites -- Beginning with Ireland March 15, 2009

This stirring presentation will feature a lecture by the noted American critic and poet Eli Siegel: "Words Are Everywhere: Comedy & Tragedy Are Two of These" in which he lectured on Sean O'Casey's play "Juno and the Paycock.”

We will also hear much-beloved Irish songs sung and commented on, such as: "Wearin’ o’ the Green,” “Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye,” “Danny Boy.” And there is more, including “Good Will: The Greatest Practicality,” by Ellen Reiss, who shows how the need for good will has been urgent throughout the history of Ireland.
