Folger Shakespeare Library

What a ball we had at the Shakespeare Festival! I have to say there are very few activities which could be held so as successfully as one at the Folger Shakespeare Library celebrating William Shakespeare's 444th birthday.

It is not necessarily fancy but it has irrepressible spirits. The attendees are clearly in their comfort zone, indulging in the luxurious scent of the Shakespearean age.

The festival inspires us to engage in the beauty of the literature world, not to mention it was simply just a load of fun. We visited the Old Reading Room filled with valuable literatures, we watched a performance by various talented young Shakespearean actors, and we even "followed the queen" in the procession. But the highlight of the day has to be seeing the famed Derek Jacobi in all his glorious eloquence - it was truly an oratory masterpiece we have the fortune to witness.

We truly appreciate Mr. & Mrs. Folger for their generosity and the heritage they helped to preserve will benefit generation after generation.

Shakespeare, whoever you really were... We salute you!
Happy birthday!
