Folger Shakespeare Library
Music, Theater, Capitol Hill
Fodor's Review:
The library's theater, a 250-seat re-creation of the inn-yard theaters popular in Shakespeare's time, hosts three to four productions a year of Shakespeare or Shakespeare-influenced works. Though the stage is a throwback, the sharp acting and staging certainly push the envelope. In addition, the library's internationally acclaimed resident chamber music ensemble, the Folger Consort, regularly presents medieval, Renaissance, and baroque pieces performed on period instruments.
