Special 400th Anniversary
First Folio Talk
by Professor Judith Buchanan
The Coach House Theatre is delighted to welcome Professor Buchanan to the Folio Festival. Professor Buchanan is not only the Master of St Peter’s College Oxford and the Pro-Vice-Chancellor of
the University of Oxford, but she is a leading authority on the 1623 First Folio of Shakespeare’s plays, a work which is still one of the most important secular works ever to be published.
In this well-illustrated talk, Professor Buchanan will discuss what this hugely influential volume has offered to the world. The talk will include revealing points of comparison with previously published, single-work editions of Shakespeare’s plays and some histories of loss, sale, theft, and recovery that individual copies of the 1623 Folio have accrued in their passage down the centuries. In 2022 Professor Buchanan was invited by Sotheby’s New York to speak about a rare copy of the 1623 Shakespeare Folio that came up for sale.
