The world premiere of Our Verse in Time to Come, a new play commissioned by the Folger, will perform at eleven DC Public Library locations. Past and present collide in this thought-provoking work written by Malik Work and Karen Ann Daniels, in collaboration with Devin E. Haqq. Inspired by the works and words of Shakespeare, Our Verse in Time to Come bridges past with present and asks the important questions about which stories are preserved and which are lost to history. Our Verse in Time to Come incorporates original music integrating hip-hop and Shakespeare, a live DJ, and an interactive collaboration with the audience.
