SUMMARY:The Film Group
DESCRIPTION:11th December\, 2018: Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933) A musical which could only be on film\, it was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and choreographed by Busby Berkley. The gold diggers in question are four aspiring actresses: Polly (Ruby Keeler)\, Carol\, an ingenue (Joan Blondel)\, Trixie\, a torch singer (Aline MacMahon) and a glamour puss\, (Ginger Rogers). Made during the Great Depression\, the film is about a production which is ready to be shown\, but is closed for non-ppayment of bills. The producer Barney Hopkins (Ned Sparks) despairs\, because he has everything except the money to put on the show\, but Plly’s boyfriend\, Brad\, (Dick Powell) comes to his rescue. \nThe film was selected in 2003 by the Library of Congress for preservation in the US National Film Registry as being “culturally\, historically or aesthetically significant”. \n(Running time: 96 mins)

SUMMARY:The Literature Group
DESCRIPTION:Euripides by Brian Gill. \nTHE BACCHAE:  \nAn Ancient Play With Timely Warnings For Today. \nThe Ancient Greeks had an astonishing understanding of human psychology. Their literature was frequently tasked with demonstrating the disastrous consequences of pursuing our ‘blind’ and unconscious motives in the service of egoic ambition \nTaking the plays\, The Bacchae and Oedipus Rex as a starting point we can use them to assess the formidable extent of their psychological understanding and gain invaluable insight into the potential disaster that awaits us today\, both collectively and individually\, should we continue to act in ignorance of basic human psychology. Our flagrant disregard for a wisdom and foresight that became the foundation of western civilization cannot continue with impunity. \nShould anyone feel drawn to read these plays\, perhaps it would be better to wait until after this presentation.
