The cast:
Folger Theatre will be in your neighborhood this April. Check out the schedule @folger.edu and learn about the DC-wide celebration of Shakespeare's First Folio!
Inspired by the works and words of Shakespeare, Our Verse in Time to Come bridges the past with the present through verse, song and memory, and interrogates whose stories remain and whose role it is to ensure they survive. An aging emcee, affectionately known as SOS, gets out of prison after 25 years only to be diagnosed with early onset dementia. Realizing it's his last chance to reconnect with his children, he engages an old family friend and legal ally to arrange his estate and ensure his now grown twins, Vi and Will, accept it before his memory slips away for good. Reuniting to sort out their father's inheritance, the estranged siblings uncover more than they bargained for. Along their journey, they meet storytellers who hold pieces of the puzzle that unlock their hearts and offer renewed connection to their heritage, community and father.
Commissioned by the Folger Shakespeare Library to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the printing of Shakespeare's First Folio, performed as a part of Searching for Shakespeare.
