How do we know Shakespeare's plays? For many of them, the answer is one book: the 1623 First Folio. Without it, 18 plays, including Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night and The Tempest could have been lost forever.
In 2016, the Folger Shakespeare Library presents "First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare," a national traveling exhibition bringing the First Folio to 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Amherst College will be the only Massachusetts stop for the traveling exhibition.
Free and open to the public.
