Join us for live performances and a public reception with refreshments, in honor of the museum exhibition First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare. Details at http://shakespeare.middlebury.edu. Free

Shakespeare’s Richard II is about the deposition of a monarch. Imagine the fury of Queen Elizabeth when she discovered that this very play was performed for an audience of traitorous soldiers the night before the Essex Rebellion—the famed Earl’s failed attempt to depose her. In Jon Glascoe’s new play Will, Shakespeare stands chained in the Tower of London, questioned by Robert Cecil and eventually the Queen herself, to determine his role in the treason. In the course of these examinations, Will’s whole life is revealed, from his humble beginnings in Stratford, to the glory of Hamlet.

Come see the special exhibitions at the Middlebury College Museum this fall! There will be free food + local beer, wine, and cider for students over 21 (two forms of ID required). The event will be capped at 150 so arrive early! Dress: Semi-formal.
