Seven years after the death of Shakespeare, a small group of unexpected heroes with no money, resources, or experience come together to compile what would become Shakespeare’s First Folio. This rapid fire and buoyant play tells the story of those who knew Shakespeare best as they fight to collect 37 of his plays into one volume against all odds. Their translation of words from the stage to the page would forever change theater and literature.
Written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Sarah Gitenstein, with performances by Jared Fernley, Abigail Gillan, and Bill Loring.
