The magic of Shakespeare’s iconic plays will soon come alive in the Fleet Street Quarter to commemorate the momentous 400th anniversary of his First Folio.

Join us for a celebration of history, literature, and theatre, as Troubadour Stageworks presents a series of free, lunchtime performances here at Stationers' Hall.

Shakespeare’s First Folio – a monumental collection of his plays which include favorites like Macbeth, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest – was first registered in the very heart of the Fleet Street area, within the historic Stationers Hall. Now, in the same historic surroundings, Troubadour Stageworks will bring these timeless works to life once again.

Local workers and visitors will be taken on a seamlessly woven tale traveling through the forests of Arden, Athens and Rousillon, the high seas of Illyria and the castles of Glamis and Elsinore. Audiences should expect music, laughter, lovers and rivalry to sing through the streets that he once walked.
