FIRST FOLIO, The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare Closes Sunday, September 25, 2016
If you have not visited Shakespeare at the Benton you have until Sunday to do so. The “FIRST FOLIO The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare” exhibition is on Tour from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night. These famous plays and 15 others by Shakespeare would probably have been lost to us without the First Folio. Published in 1623, the First Folio is the first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays; only 233 copies are known today. http://shakespeare.uconn.edu
To mark the closing of the First Folio there will be a Shakespeare Era Concert tonight, September 23 from 8:00 – 9:30 PM at the East Gallery Balcony of the Benton.
Shakespeare’s Songbook and Tallis’s Spem in alium
Performed by the UConn Collegium Musicum
