First Folio Talk by Ben Crystal

★★★★★

As part of the First Folio exhibition currently on at Shakespeare North Playhouse, Associate Artist Ben Crystal has delivered an absolutely fascinating insight into how the First Folio was made, and what makes the First Folio such an important piece of both literature and history.

During the Lights On / Lights Off shows which Ben directed and performed in, he gave brief background details into each of the excerpts of the plays which we both really enjoyed. Ben is not only hugely knowledgable and passionate about Shakespeare, but he is also a very engaging public speaker. You cannot help but be swept up in his enthusiasm for The Bard. So with tickets available for just £3 per person as part of Shakespeare North’s Pay What You Decide scheme, attending this event felt like an absolute no brainer.
