OUTDOOR LIVING HISTORY SERIES: An Evening with Rudyard Kipling
Wednesday, August 76:30—7:30 PMEvent LawnTewksbury Public Library300 Chandler Street, Tewksbury, MA, 01876
Actor Jackson Gillman will perform his one-man show, “Rudyard Kipling Revisited.” Rudyard Kipling was the most internationally celebrated author of his day, best known for The Jungle Book. The first four years of his marriage and fatherhood were spent in Vermont where he built his dream house, now preserved as a historical landmark. These were very productive, happy, and troubled years for the young literary giant. He was a guarded, private individual but this performance will provide an inside look at his experience in New England and some of the controversy surrounding this complex man. The performance will also include a selection of Kipling’s poems and stories. Learn more about Jackson Gillman, who portrays Rudyard-in-Residence at Kipling’s Vermont home, HERE.
This living history performance will take place on the library's back lawn. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own blankets or chairs. In case of inclement weather, the performance will take place in the library’s Fairgrieve Wing. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
The library will be bringing authors to life this summer on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm, with Ralph Waldo Emerson (July 3), Julia Ward Howe (July 10), Robert Frost (July 17), Charles Dickens (July 24), Herman Melville (July 31), and Rudyard Kipling (August 7) all scheduled to visit.
