On November 8th 1623, The First Folio, one of the great wonders of the literary world was published, seven years after the death of its author. It was the first printed edition of Shakespeare’s collected plays. Without this achievement, we would have lost half of his dramatic work. Troubadour Stageworks is marking this day in true Shakespearian style with a 12-hour Shakespeare Marathon at Dr Johnson’s House from 10 a.m. today.

Today eight of Shakespeare’s plays will be woven together including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, All’s Well That Ends Well, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Richard III, Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth Night and ‘Fix Folio’ (36 Shakespeare Plays in 45 minutes).

The performance is free and can be viewed online or in person at Dr Johnson’s House, Gough Square, London.
