Salon with Murray Mednick Set for Westwood Branch Library Today

The Westwood branch of the Los Angeles Public Library is offering an evening of conversation with award-winning, visionary playwright and director Murray Mednick today, March 19 at 6:30 p.m.

In his most recent play, Villon, Mednick brings his unique sensibility to the hair-raising, sometimes violent and often hilarious exploits of François Villon, the infamous 15th century poet who was also a bandit and a murderer. At the library event, Mednick will discuss what inspired him to write about the life of France's infamous poet/criminal.

The Westwood branch of the Los Angeles Public Library is located at 1246 Glendon Ave. Admission is free and reservations are not required. For more information, go to www.lapl.org/whats-on/events/villion-theatrical-salon.

Villon is currently running at the Odyssey Theatre through March 23. For more information and to purchase tickets, call (310) 477-2055 ext. 2, or go to www.paduaplaywrights.org.
