Department Events

Spring 2006

The Department of English invites all members of the UNE community to view this year's Nobel laureate, Harold Pinter, address the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on the occasion of his selection for the prize in literature. Titled, "Art, Truth & Politics," Pinter's pre-recorded lecture is one of the most powerful and dramatic literary and political events in recent years.

The lecture will be shown at the St. Francis Room, UC, on Monday, February 13, at 11:50 a.m.

A conversation with Dr. Mahoney and other faculty members will follow.

Jan Grieco is one of four emerging writers who will be recognized at PEN-New England's 2006 Discovery Evening on March 2 at Emerson College in Boston. She was nominated by Ann Hood, author of Somewhere Off the Coast of Maine, An Ornithologist's Guide to Life, and several other books, and will be introduced by Hood at the event.

Lisa Di Franza will be directing The Price by Arthur Miller at Portland Stage from April 4 to April 23, 2006.  The play is about two estranged brothers who come together in uneasy reunion to dispose of their father’s estate. Their encounter is a highly charged examination of the wounds inflicted by their sibling rivalry, and the struggle to forgive.
