The Guild's 2002 season commenced with January and February events in Washington,
one at the WOMAN'S DEMOCRATIC CLUB on New Hampshire Avenue and another at
THE WASHINGTON CLUB on Dupont Circle. We then moved to the NATIONAL ARTS
CLUB in New York for events in March, May, and June, with a second May program
and subsequent engagements at the WNDC Clubhouse.
Our first gathering in D.C. was a delightful conversation with one of the
most versatile actors at The Shakespeare Theatre, TED
VAN GRIETHUYSEN.
Next was a conversation with RICHARD
CLIFFORD, a London-based actor and director who was in Washington to
direct Sheridan's She Stoops to Conquer at the Folger Theatre on
Capitol Hill. In January 2000 Mr. Clifford had overseen the Guild's "Man
of the Millennium" presentation at Middle Temple Hall in London, a gathering
at which Kenneth Branagh had received the Gielgud Award for Excellence
in the Dramatic Arts.
In March we chatted with F.
MURRAY ABRAHAM, best known for his Oscar-winning performance in the
film version of Peter Shaffer's Amadeus.
May featured three programs,
one at the National Arts Club with the legendary ZOE
CALDWELL, a second with Artistic Director MICHAEL
KAHN of The Shakespeare Theatre, and a third with best-selling linguist
DEBORAH TANNEN.
In June we enjoyed
an engaging conversation in New York with BEN
CAMERON, Executive Director of the Theatre Communications Group, and
in Washington with celebrated actress LYNN
REDGRAVE.
And in September and November we offered stellar events in
DC with Folger Shakespeare Library director GAIL
PASTER and jouranlists GARRY
WILLS and BILL PRESS.
