Join us at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library to mark the anniversary of the publication of the first edition of William Shakespeare’s plays 400 years ago. Meet curators and researchers at the University of Manchester to examine and learn about texts illustrating the global connections of Shakespeare’s works from his time to the present. See our rarely displayed First Folio on display in the stunning surroundings of the Historic Reading Room. Watch the Columbian press in action and take home a Shakespeare quote during a printing demonstration.
