On four successive Monday evenings beginning March 23, CSC will offer staged readings of works inspired by Proust's classic, "giving audiences a unique guided tour through one of the 20th century's greatest novels."

Audiences may absorb each reading as an independent evening or experience them together as a cycle.

Here's The Proust Project's schedule:

  • March 23, Swann In Love, by Pamela Hansford Johnson, directed by Tony Speciale, will feature Michael Stuhlbarg as Swann and Jason Butler Harner as Marcel.

  • April 13, a reprise of Swann In Love, directed by Brian Kulick will feature Michael Stuhlbarg as Swann. All readings will be followed by a post-performance symposium with a Proust scholar, and audiences "will be given a free Madeleine cookie to inspire their memory."
