Join us for a performance of Shakespeare's play 'The Tempest' produced by The Fables, local theater group, on the COMO Stage! Sept 18, 19, & 20, 7:30 p.m. Returning by sea from a royal wedding in Northern Africa, a ship carrying Italian noblemen including the King of Naples, his son Ferdinand, and Antonio, the treacherous Duke of Milan is torn apart by the titular tempest and thrown onto the shores of a nearby island. The isle belongs to Prospero: the rightful Duke of Milan, exiled 12 years ago along with his daughter Miranda through his brother's betrayal. A powerful magician, Prospero summoned the storm himself, and commands the island's spirits. Drawing his enemies into a meticulously plotted gauntlet of illusions, music, and spectacle, Prospero weaves a living play meant to confront his enemies with their crimes and force them into changing their ways. But there's a problem. Something even the great Prospero did not foresee with all his arcane might. His daughter falling in love with one of the castaways.

Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Gail MacDonald for her book, Abolitionists of the Northeast: Black Leaders in the Antislavery Movement. About the Book Abolitionists of the Northeast profiles the little-known yet historically prolific Black figures who actively participated in the abolitionist movement in America. The movement, which began in the 1820s in Northeastern America, was about ending slavery in the United States. History books have long emphasized the lives and work of Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Thomas Garrett, but it's no secret that the most influential Black advocates are missing from the pages of our textbooks. This book offers intimate profiles of 29 Black abolitionists in the Northeast along with historical black and white photographs that give readers a full picture of who these people were, the work they did to combat the nation's greatest sin, and how their legacy has lived on. From the underrated to the overlooked, Abolitionists of the Northeast educates readers on the most influential advocates in the earliest beginnings of the United States' anti-slavery movement. About the Author Gail B. MacDonald is a recently retired University of Connecticut journalism professor; a veteran, award-winning journalist and the author of three history books. She regularly leads history-themed tours for Uncovering New London; One Story at a Time and at the historic Cedar Grove Cemetery in New London and formerly was a docent and developer of history tours for the Thames River Heritage Park. She is president of the Rotary Club of New London, through which she is active in community service. She lives in New London.

Since they were children, Hazel and Ben have been telling each other stories about the boy in the glass coffin, that he is a prince and they are valiant knights, pretending their prince would be different from the other faeries, the ones who made cruel bargains, lurked in the shadows of trees, and doomed tourists. But as Hazel grows up, she puts aside those stories. Hazel knows the horned boy will never wake.   Until one day, he does...."   In addition to reading the story, class sessions will include relevant math and science lessons, and will also integrate personal finance activities.

Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with David Borges for the book, UConn Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline. About the Book With six national championships under three different head coaches in one 26-year span, UConn basketball has been the most successful men's program of the 21st century. No program has won more national titles in that span. No program has won more Big East championships, even though the Huskies were out of the league for seven seasons. And when UConn won back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024, it became the first program to repeat in 17 years, and just the third to do so since the UCLA dynasties of the late 1960s/early 1970s. UConn has spawned a Hall of Fame player in Ray Allen and a coach in Jim Calhoun. No doubt, Dan Hurley will be enshrined in Springfield someday, as well. Since Calhoun took over the program in 1986, the Huskies have had 17 NBA Draft lottery picks, 24 first-round selections and 40 overall . . . and counting. UConn's success has shown no signs of slowing down under Hurley. But Husky history dates back much further. From its time as a regional power in the Yankee Conference to its days of dominance in the Big East, UConn has had remarkable success-sprinkled in with the occasional spectacular failure. All the championship teams, All-American players, dynamic personalities, and iconic games and moments that have helped turned little Storrs, Connecticut, into The Basketball Capital of the Word are chronicled in this book by longtime UConn men's basketball beat writer David Borges. About the Author David Borges has covered the UConn men's basketball team as a beat writer for the New Haven Register and Hearst Connecticut Media since 2007. In that span, he's covered four national championships and five Final Four teams. Prior to that, he covered the 2004 Boston Red Sox team that snapped an 86-year World Series championship drought. Borges, a Rhode Island native who has lived in Connecticut for nearly two decades with his wife and two children, has won multiple awards covering UConn, including the National Sports Media Association's Connecticut Sportswriter of the Year in 2019.

Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Jason Allison for his book, The Killing Yards.  Jason will be in conversation with Tessa Wegert. About the Book This gritty crime novel set in 1990s New York City will appeal to fans of Dennis Lehane. New York, 1993. Jimmy Lettner, a convicted drug-trafficker who once lost a daughter in a narco-fueled car wreck, runs Manhattan’s hottest nightspot, Abattoir. Reformed by his time in prison, all he wants is to run a clean club. But that’s not possible in a city rife with corruption. Jimmy doesn’t know it, but his right-hand man, Serge Thanakis, is operating an ecstasy ring that’s drawing the wrong kind of attention. Jealous industry rivals will do anything to shut Abattoir down, and the new mayor presses the NYPD to clean up the city’s darkest corners. As Jimmy’s troubles mount, temptations from his past call to him. Meanwhile, Ben Hopkins, a straight-edge rookie cop on the hunt for a fast-track ticket to detective, turns his attention to Abattoir. He has something to prove—to his father and to himself. But he’s not prepared for undercover work. The club scene devours Ben, along with his ability to tell right from wrong. As the war for Abattoir escalates, bodies drop, drawing more heat from city officials. The competition threatens Jimmy’s only surviving daughter, a revelation about his past threatens his future, and he questions how long his reign as NYC’s nightclub king can last. But through it all, the dance floor stays packed—and Jimmy will do anything to keep his crown. About the Author A native New Yorker, Jason Allison spent two decades with the NYPD, mostly as a detective. He now resides in Massachusetts with his wife and their Golden Retriever. The Killing Yards is his first novel. About Tessa Wegert Tessa Wegert is the critically acclaimed author of the Shana Merchant Mysteries, as well as the North Country series.

Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with James Benn for the book, The Ninth Circle. About the Book To solve a double murder in Cuba, US Army Captain Billy Boyle will need to build unlikely alliances with Havana’s underworld and British intelligence, including Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming, whose naval wartime service would later inspire the James Bond novels. This installment of James R. Benn’s fan-favorite, critically-acclaimed WWII mystery series marks 20 years of Billy Boyle, an Irish American cop from Boston thrust onto the staff of his “uncle” Ike Eisenhower for sensitive overseas military investigations. January, 1945: If US Army Captain Billy Boyle thinks a summons to Havana will give him a chance to sip a cold Hatuey under the Caribbean sun, the fantasy is dead on arrival. Within hours of landing, Billy and his partner-in-crime-solving, Lieutenant Piotr Kazimierz, are assigned to investigate the murder of a Navy intelligence officer. But as the men wait for an informant at a beachside bar, a bomb goes off, and they narrowly escape with their lives. Then the informant—a Cuban taxi driver named Hector Díaz—is found dead outside his apartment. What did Hector know? And who was so desperate to silence him? Thrust into a double-murder investigation, Billy and Kaz team up with the brass at the British Legation in Havana, including none other than Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming, to gather intel from sources inside Havana’s criminal underworld. Their search takes them from Havana’s Chinatown to the Gran Casino Nacional, where notorious gangster Meyer Lansky offers his services if it means defeating the suspected common enemy—the Sicherheitsdienst, the intelligence wing of the Nazi military—and finding out what sort of intelligence they are so hell-bent on keeping top-secret at this late stage in the war. About the Author James R. Benn is the author of the Billy Boyle World War II mysteries. The debut, Billy Boyle, was selected as a Top  Five Book of the Year by Book Sense and was a Dilys Award nominee, A Blind Goddess was longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, The Rest Is Silence was a Barry Award nominee, and The Devouring was a Macavity Award nominee. Benn, a former librarian, lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida with his wife, Deborah Mandel.
