Tea with Lady Macbeth, Portia, Ophelia, and Juliet…
March 30, 1900, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia: ladies from the class of 1902, following a recital of several Shakespearean scenes, perform a farce called The Ladies Speak at Last, which “created much merriment by the disclosure of incidents not noted in Shakespeare’s works.”
