About the event
The East is still mysterious, but thanks to Google Translate the manuscripts are no longer mysterious, merely exotic. Come and be amazed that there are scripts even more beautiful than Times New Roman. And whereas the manuscripts of the West were largely accomplished by quills on parchment, these came from reed pens on various papers – papyrus, mulberry, silk, rice, etc. This one’s a sensory feast as well. Admission is free but seating is limited to 12 Please let us know with an RSVP at theatreofmemory.org under EVENTS so that we may save a chair for you at the table.
