It is 8 November, 1623, and Isaac Jaggard is racing from Stationers Hall to Edward Blount’s publishing house in London carrying a new manuscript, complete, copyright approved, and ready to be bound. But he trips, and all the pages of Shakespeare’s First Folio scatter to the winds. Can he, with a few helping hands, reorder 36 plays in 45 minutes?
WILL SHAKESPEARE’S PLAYS MAKE IT TO PRINT?
Fun, fast and accessible to all, join us in this whirlwind through all of Shakespeare’s plays hosted at Street Assemblies: Public Assembly, one of the four installations by Urban Radicals for LFA2024. With six original songs and containing at least one line from every play in The First Folio, this show is enjoyable no matter your prior Shakespeare knowledge. It is an easter egg hunt for the academic aficionado and a great first introduction for younger family members.
