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. 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.
Commissioned to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's First Folio, 'Fix the Folio' had to turn away audience members in its initial run in the City of London in the summer of 2023, and we cannot wait to bring it to Scilly!
These performances are part of a wider community tour where we are proud to be working with the Five Islands Academy. This tour was made possible by the Scops Arts Trust.
