Kathleen Chalfant will perform a staged reading of Lynn Redgrave’s play, SHAKESPEARE FOR MY FATHER at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC on Mon Nov 11 at 7:30 PM. Lynn Redgrave wrote "Shakespeare for my Father" after receiving an invitation in 1991 from the Folger to present an evening of Shakespeare and family anecdotes. She went on to develop and tour the play internationally, garnering Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations along the way. It and other material related to her career as actor and playwright, were acquired by the Folger Shakespeare Library in the Redgrave archive last spring, and are part of a new exhibition "Here is a Play Fitted," on view in the Folger’s Great Hall after the Nov 11 reading – and through Jan 12. The staged reading is presented in association with the Davis Performing Arts Center at Georgetown University. An additional performance will be held at the Davis Center's Gonda on Tues Nov 12 at 7:30 PM.  For tickets, pleas call 202/544-7077 or visit www.folger.edu/.
