Today's Hours: The library is open today from
The First Folio was compiled by John Heminges and Henry Condell, two of Shakespeare’s fellow actors. Without it, we would not today have half of Shakespeare’s plays. Valid email required to register.
Peter Garino will examine how the First Folio came to be, its importance to our knowledge and understanding of Shakespeare today, and how the Folio is used by actors today in crafting their performances. He also takes a look at Henry Clay Folger, who amassed a collection of 82 First Folios during his lifetime, and the Newberry Library’s holdings of a First Folio and numerous Shakespeare Quartos. A must-see for Shakespeare aficionados or those who simply wish to broaden their understanding of Shakespeare.
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
