Finish out the week with cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and a thoughtful, fun, substantive, and even sometimes raucous ode to Queen Vashti. Reviled as a villain and celebrated as a rebel, ignored by history and valorized by feminists, Vashti is at once an enigma and a Rorschach test. Learn and discuss not only her story, but also how artists, commentators, and laypeople have interpreted it over the millennia.
