I spent some time in the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vault this afternoon. Among the treasures: a first folio, a ring given to the widow of a man lost at sea, and handwritten inventory from the 17th century that documents the earliest known appearance of Shakespeare in North America

Farewell to Tom Stoppard.
I’ve loved Arcadia ever since I saw it in the 90s. I’ve seen other work since (Daniel Radcliffe v good in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead at the Old Vic!) but Arcadia somehow always remained my favourite.
Goodnight to a real one. You can’t hold back entropy. Or can you?

Here’s my tribute to the Roman consul Julius Caesar. Shakespeare saw parallels between the political uncertainty of Caesar's time and Queen Elizabeth I's reign. He’d have had a field day with Trump’s power grab and the violence that followed. #FolgerLibrary #DC
