If you walk into Lower Parel's Trilogy tomorrow evening, don't be surprised to see a bunch of Bard lovers reading passages from Macbeth, as part of a free group reading session celebrating 451 years of Shakespeare. The curated library and bookstore also hosts The Poetry Project, every Sunday — a ticketed event that helps Mumbaikars to learn to write poetry.
