Shakespeare is dead. His brilliant plays exist only on scraps of paper as character sides, stage notes and in unreliable actors' memories. Thus begins this exciting, true story of how Shakespeare’s devoted friends brought the fragments of the Bard’s plays into a printed First Folio which would preserve Shakespeare’s works forever. We follow Henry Condell, John Heminges, their wives, colleagues and friends as they navigate their mission through fading memories, financial challenges and shady publishers. 

Lauren Gunderson has created a play of warmth and humour. It’s not just about the men and women who saved Shakespeare’s works, it’s also a love letter to theatre and friendship. We hope you’ll join us for this beautiful storytelling.
