The exhibition celebrates the 400th anniversary of the relic's creation
The significant historic item is Shakespeare's First Folio, the first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays, containing 36 out of some 38 plays written by the Bard. It is currently being exhibited at Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot to mark the 400th anniversary of the text's creation.
Shakespeare North Playhouse has loaned the Folio from the British Library, and anyone wishing to take a glimpse at the book has until November 11 to do so. The text is located in the theatre's exhibition room, along with information regarding its backstory and historical significance. Chief Executive of Shakespeare North Playhouse, Melanie Lewis, says: "We are honoured to welcome Shakespeare’s First Folio from the British Library to the Shakespeare North Playhouse as part of their ‘Treasures on Tour’ programme. This historic loan represents not only a profound connection to our theatrical heritage, but also a remarkable opportunity for our audiences to engage directly with the very words that have shaped literary history.
