Wednesday 14 June, 5-6pm

 

The 1623 First Folio consists of 36 Shakespeare plays, around half of which were not published in individual editions prior to the Folio’s publication.

Dr Darren Freebury-Jones surveys plays which we believe Shakespeare had a hand in but weren’t included in the First Folio, and explores what the omission tells us about the presentation of Shakespeare's genius by the Folio's compilers, and the ways in which his dramatic identity was shaped by those he collaborated most.
