Love in the time of a pandemic and other drama for the week

Monday: Intimate drama space The Living Room presents Beirut, in which a couple confronts quarantine, a highly communicable disease and if their love is worth the possibility of dying together.

Tuesday: Vote. It’s Election Day.

Wednesday: Hook up with a Scorpio. Intense, secretive and grudge-bearing, those born under this astrological sign are also known to be great in bed. And they’ll be out in droves during the Scorpio Karaoke Birthday Party at Record Bar.

Thursday: Hear Shakespeare the way Shakespeare would have spoken it. KU linguist Paul Meier has figured out what the accent of the Bard’s time really would have sounded like and found actors to perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream in that tongue at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre.
