**AN EVENING WITH JOHN GUARE**
U.S. playwright John Guare returns to the Segal for an intimate evening. His new play, A Free Man of Color, weaves a Don Juan narrative into the lush, lawless melting pot of early 19th Century New Orleans on the eve of the Louisiana Purchase. Guare will discuss the production, running concurrently at the Lincoln Center Theater in a production directed by George C. Wolfe, with Distinguished Professor and Vera Mowry Roberts Chair in American Theatre David Savran (Graduate Center, CUNY).

**THE LAST QUEEN OF EGYPT: STACY SCHIFF ON CLEOPATRA**
Join the Leon Levy Center for Biography for a night of discovery and insight with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff, who will discuss her new biography, Cleopatra: A Life. Schiff has created "a cinematic portrait of a historical figure far more complex and compelling than any fictional creation, and a wide, panning, panoramic picture of her world," says Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times. "Schiff offers not just Cleopatra's story but the story of an amazing era," notes Azar Nafisi, "one that has vanished but still affects us, questioning the way we look at myth, history and ourselves."
