SUMMARY:The Tempest - Shakespeare's Farewell? - GI 26 075
DESCRIPTION:For many The Tempest was not only Shakespeare’s last play but his best. This year Kenneth Branagh plays Prospero in the RSC production – how will his performance be rated? \nIn this course we will discuss the play’s themes and characters.

SUMMARY:Jan Van Eyck: The Real Idea (also Online) - GI 26 076
DESCRIPTION:When we look at a painting by Jan van Eyck\, we are taken back to early 15th century Flanders\, a world of faith and symbolism which can seem remote from us. We are drawn in by the fabulous rendering of the visual world but behind it are a web of comments on his society and the characters inhabiting it which can still resonate for us today.

SUMMARY:The First Time Machine: The History of Concorde - T391
DESCRIPTION:This talk was postponed from 10 June  – this is the re-scheduled date. \nThere will never be another aircraft like Concorde – the fastest passenger aircraft of all time\, and the perfect synergy of technology and design. Join aviation historian\, Guy Bartlett\, on a journey of discovery as he shares his experience of supersonic flight. \nIt is incredible to think that those who conceived the idea of this aircraft – which flew faster than a bullet – actually travelled to London via steam train to discuss their plans! \n\nWe’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities\, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this\, please call the team or visit us in person.
