The 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio

Director Greg Doran and Shakespeare experts Emma Smith, Farah Karim-Cooper and Chris Laoutaris mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio.

Front Row marks the 400th anniversary year of Shakespeare's First Folio with former RSC Artistic Director Greg Doran, Guildhall Principal Librarian Peter Ross, and Shakespeare experts Emma Smith, Farah Karim-Cooper and Chris Laoutaris. Without the Folio we might not have had The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure and many others. Front Row considers the rich, complicated and sometimes paradoxical history of its compilation, printing, and significance over the centuries.
