First Folio’s arrival a Shakespearean thriller

The First Folio is coming to Madison, one of the last stops in a yearlong tour designed to exhibit a copy of the first printed collection of Shakespeare’s plays in every U.S. state, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The precious and historic volume, laid open to the page bearing Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” speech, will be on display from Thursday to Dec.11 at the UW-Madison’s Chazen Museum of Art.
