Brucher, student speak with WLBZ about Shakespeare’s First Folio
WLBZ (Channel 2) reported on the Portland Public Library’s exhibit of William Shakespeare’s First Folio. The University of Maine Humanities Center and Department of English co-sponsored a bus trip to Portland to tour collections at the Osher Map Library, as well as attend a public lecture and view Shakespeare’s First Folio. “I think anything that brings young people to the theater to watch the plays, anything that keeps people reading them is great,” said Richard “Dick” Brucher, a UMaine English professor, who delivered “Learning from the First Folio” at the library. “I’m surprised how much I learned,” said UMaine student Emmaline Lovely about the exhibit. “I was interested to hear a lot of new facts I didn’t know.”
