MONDAY: We're not sure why simulcasts have become so popular — but people still go to movies in theaters, and it's not so different.
Tonight, the Shakespeare Theater will be simulcasting an interview with Stephen King about his latest novel, "Under the Dome." Go find out what's behind the master storyteller's creative process — and hey, make friends with some fellow King fans while you're at it.

MONDAY: You might think that no one could possibly have anything new to say about Shakespeare, but HA! There's always something new to say about Shakespeare.
NPR reporter and "literary detective" Paul Collins will be speaking at Folger tonight about his new tome, "Book of William: How Shakespeare's First Folio Conquered the World." Collins is an engaging, funny writer who clearly loves literature, so this should be worth the time. If you love books, check out his previous memoir, "Sixpence House," about what it's like to live in a town composed mainly of bookstores.
