Event Details

The SDPL Tea Group will finish reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy on December 16.  In preparation for the concluding Discussion/Tea Party on Tuesday 12/28, we're showing two cinematic adaptions of this literary classic on our big Community Room's big screen. 

The basic plot of the story is: unhappy aristocrat Anna Karenina faces the tides of change in late-19th-century Russia and has an affair with a wealthy count.  How the filmmakers choose to interpret the tale, though, will differ.
