400 Years of Folio

 



Happy 400th Birthday to the First Folio!

The first printing of Shakespeare's collected works was published 400 years ago today, November 8, 1623. 

This also marks the first date of printing of our next play - Twelfth Night. Unlike some of his other works, no prior versions of the play exist, so without the Folio, it's likely the text of this play would have been lost to history (along with Julius Caesar, Comedy of Errors, and 15 others).

Learn more about the first folio here. 

And make plans to join us Jan 5-21 at Ridge Road Baptist Church, for Twelfth Night!
