People's University: Shakespeare, Class 4 - Henry V

May 17, 2016
7:00pm - 7:00pm

Class 4: Henry V— “Are We in Order?” Leadership, Companionship, & Fidelity

Like the conductor of a great jazz orchestra—Duke Ellington, for example—King Henry V gathers men from all walks and stations of life and harmonizes their individual talents for the benefit of the common good of the country. His leadership qualities of integrity, honesty, discernment, and respect, elicit trust, confidence, cooperation, and loyalty in his companions, presenting us with a timeless lesson in leadership. 

Instructor Lou Volpe graduated from Wheeling Jesuit University in 1970 with a BA in English and from John Carroll University in 1978 with an MA in English Literature. Besides teaching for four years at St. John Central High School in Bellaire, Ohio, Lou spent thirty-four years teaching Senior English to his beloved students at Wheeling Central Catholic High School. 

[Note: Towngate will offer a free screening of Branagh’s Henry V on May 22 at 3 PM as part of the Wheeling Film Society. A Conversation will follow at Lunch With Books at the library on May 24 at noon. See also: oionline.com/firstfolio]
