The Clark Art Institute hosts a literary celebration featuring a quartet of award-winning actors performing short fiction readings. The special program, The Writing on the Wall, combines art, theatre, and the written word. Maria Tucci, David Strathairn, Jessica Hecht, and Joe Grifasi combine their talents to bring a selection of short stories to life on the stage of the Clark’s auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center. The program includes Maria Tucci presenting A Dog in Dürer’s Etching by Marco Denevi; David Strathairn reading the Willa Cather story A Wagner Matinee; Jessica Hecht offering Jean Rhys’s Goodbye Marcus, Goodbye Rose; and Joe Grifasi performing John Sayles’s comic masterpiece At the Anarchists’ Convention. The At the Anarchists’ Convention reading is enhanced by an image from the Clark’s collection.
