Come celebrate the 400th anniversary of the making of Shakespeare’s First Folio with Dr. Susan Willis, a Shakespeare scholar and former resident dramaturg for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival (ASF). The First Folio is the first published collection of Shakespeare’s full plays. Significantly, it saved 18 plays from being lost. The history of this iconic book will be shared for your education and merriment in a program jointly sponsored by The NewSouth Bookstore and ASF.
