- **Event Name**: Montaigne's "Essays": A Performance and Discussion with Jeff Persels
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 30 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Can we or should we “stage” Montaigne’s 'Essays (1580-1595)? Can we reduce 800+ pages and the effort - and intimate account - of a French lifetime to an hour’s strutting on the boards? And in Donald Frame’s (magnificent) English translation, no less? As the early modern fades from university curricula, what could one old man in tights possibly have to teach us about our modern selves?

Excerpt adapted, performed and discussed by Jeff Persels, associate professor of French at USC-Columbia and avid promoter of French theatre for student and community audiences.

This event is free and open to the public, no registration required.
