It’s a big weekend for theater in the Heights. On Saturday afternoon at 3:00, at the Brooklyn Heights Library’s auditorium, Theater 2020 will present a free reading (not a full dress stage production) of Lynn Marie Macy’s new play Carlton House, Jane Austen and the Prince Regent. The play is based in part on Austen’s correspondence, and is
…a comic exploration of the day Jane Austen visited the Royal Palace and was requested to dedicate her next novel the Prince Regent. This event marked the highest distinction her work received during her lifetime!
Ms. Macy will give a brief talk before the reading about Jane Austen and the events that inspired the play. Light refreshments will be served.

The Poplar Street Community Garden, located at the corner of Hicks and Poplar streets, will have another working party on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Volunteers will help with
“Hugelkultur”, an old technique recently re-discovered by farmers and permaculturists: We’ll dig a trench, fill it with logs and beyond-use lumber, add some other garden debris, and cover with a mix of compost and soil. The completed growing area will have a slight rise and gentle slope.
