text: The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., is the world's foremost
|
||
research center for all things Shakespeare, boasting the largest collection
|
||
of First Folios (82 copies!) and related historical materials. Beyond its scholarly
|
||
riches, the Folger's beautifully renovated building offers a vibrant public
|
||
experience, featuring compelling, interactive exhibitions drawn from its rare
|
||
collections, an ornate theater for performances, and engaging programs that
|
||
make the Bard accessible to everyone, from scholars to families.

Started the visit in the cafe to knock out some work and was so pleasantly surprised
|
||
by every single room in this place!
|
||
|
||
I am by no means a Shakespeare aficionado or enthusiast but this entire collection
|
||
was so well curated and easy to navigate I didn’t want to leave. The walls are
|
||
covered in recreations of illustrations, the lighting is dim but still light
|
||
enough to read. And… It’s not just Shakespeare!
|
||
|
||
Seriously a vast collection. All the docents were pleasant and so knowledgeable.
|
||
There is also a theatre with performances daily.
|
||
|
||
Would and will return! Can’t wait to tell everyone I know to visit!'

text: Excellent Shakespeare resources, family friendly. Very knowledgeable docents
|
||
and staff. We enjoyed sleuthing to reveal hidden pictures, learning about the
|
||
development of the printing press, examining the map of Shakespeare and delighting
|
||
in the art both inside and on the outside of the building. Unfortunately, viewing
|
||
the theater was not possible. They said they were preparing for a show and it
|
||
could be viewed another time- this assumes we can make multiple visits. Hopefully
|
||
they can come up with a solution in the future.

Today, I was lucky to visit as the library was open to the public, and I truly

film. The story imagines the life and death of Shakespeare’s son, Hamnet, whose

loss would later echo through one of his most famous tragedies, Hamlet. O’Farrell

joins director and co-writer Chloé Zhao to reveal how they adapted the novel

for the big screen.

With Jessie Buckley as Agnes and Paul Mescal as William, the film reframes the

creation. O’Farrell '

description: 'Who was Lambert Simnel—the boy who nearly claimed the Tudor throne?
|
||
In late 15th-century England, identity wasn’t just a matter of birth—it could

writing, and the visual culture of the time.
