Famous Women with Julian Brown: How Hamlet Lost Her Leg - Sarah Bernhardt on Stage

  • New York City, NY 10025 (map)

Born in Paris in 1844, the illegitimate daughter of a courtesan, at the age of 17 Sarah Bernhardt got herself a position at the prestigious Comédie Française, only to be promptly fired after slapping the leading actress. However, with her good looks, talent, eccentricities and a head for business, she ended up an international superstar, bought a theatre, slept in a coffin, and remains one of the most famous actors of all time.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.

After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until September 30, 2022.
