WINTHROP — The Bailey Public Library will present “The Zany, Majestic Bard: Celebrating the Inventive Language of Shakespeare” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, in the King Event Room.

The one-hour performance is for audiences of all ages and will celebrate the language of Shakespeare’s plays, including “Hamlet,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “King Lear,” “As You Like It,” and “Twelfth Night.”

The program is created and performed by David Greenham, well-known in the Winthrop Lakes Region area, having spent 14 years as the producing artistic director of The Theater at Monmouth. Greenham is also the creator of several popular Maine Humanities Council programs, including the award-winning “Taxing Maine” and, most recently, “Maine at Work.” He is an adjunct professor of drama at the University of Maine at Augusta and program director at the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine.

Greenham lives in Readfield with his wife and son.

The event is part of the ongoing Lakes Region Forum held at the Bailey Library and sponsored by the Winthrop Public Library Foundation through a grant from the Maine Humanities Council and Maine State Library. The program is free and open to the public. For more information call the library at 207-377-8673 or visit baileylibrary.org.
