Unraveling the Creative Process - A Conversation with Ian Leslie
Ian Leslie is joining us today for a salon, hosted by Gina Hafez (online, tickets public - book your spot here):
“John & Paul: A Love Story In Songs starts in 1957, when the two of them meet, before taking us through their rise to fame, stupendous success, acrimonious split and aftermath. I tell the story through songs, since it’s my belief that it’s impossible to understand the music of the Beatles except through the alchemy between John and Paul - and you can’t understand that alchemy except through the songs. John & Paul offers a whole new narrative of the Beatles; one which scrapes away the clichés in order to reveal the group and its two principals afresh. It’s a story full of joy, love, pain and pathos. But don’t take my word for it…”

Play-reading of Jane Scharl’s new Sonnez Les Matines coming up — three reading actors wanted!
After super fun table reads of, e.g., Arcadia, Uncle Vanya, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, we will once again come together over a play:
Jane Scharl’s newest, Sonnez Les Matines! (Order a copy here.) Perfect for Mardi Gras!
“One Mardi Gras night in 1520s Paris, college students Jean Calvin (founder of Calvinism and autocratic ruler of Geneva), Ignatius of Loyola (founder of the Counter-Reformation Catholic religious order, the Jesuits), and their bawdy friend François Rabelais (the humanist novelist) find themselves mixed up in a gruesome murder-and any one of them might be guilty.”
If you’d like to participate, please email me at anna@interintellect.com and tell us more about yourself. (Please note that Interintellect hosts and community members will come first. You can create a host profile here, and become a member here.)

Salon about Jane Austen’s economics — with , , and
“2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth. Many read her for the romance, or her sharp wit and rich use of irony; some of us also read her for her shrewd economic observation. That's right, Jane Austen is the economist's novelist.”
On April 5: public and online — book your ticket here!
