Have you seen a performance at the Folger Theater? Housed in the Folger Library at 201 East Capitol Street, SE, about three blocks from the Capitol South metro station, the Elizabethan theater offers an intimate theater experience with top-notch performances. The Great Hall in the building is used for special exhibitions on early medicine, early newspapers, and other early this and thats related to Elizabethan times.This April, Lynn Redgrave will be coming to the Folger Theater with a new show, Rachel and Juliet. Redgrave stars in the one-woman show, which pays tribute to her mother, actress Rachel Kempson, whose love affair with the role of Juliet and search for her own Romeo lasted her whole life. Redgrave weaves Ms. Kempson's own words and passages from Shakespeare to create a companion piece to her Tony Award-nominated Shakespeare for My Father. (At least that's what the Folger's Web site says.)
