"Adjoa Andoh acknowledged that some of her work might look Black or colour-centric but that is only because of the silos the world forces us into."
"Her week's itinerary included consulting the Folger's collection, public programmes such as last Sunday's lecture, visits to Washington schools and a screening of her 2019 production of Richard II."
"The residency also included an interview with the Guardian in one of the Folger's ornate, wood-panelled rooms, a couple of days before Shakespeare's birthday."
"I had a bit of a cry yesterday, she confesses, reflecting on her viewing of the world's biggest collection of Shakespeare's First Folios and her tour of the vaults."
Adjoa Andoh spoke at the Folger Shakespeare Library, addressing the perception of her work as color-centric due to societal silos. She humorously noted missing crucial football matches for her residency. Her itinerary included consulting the Folger's collection, public programs, and a staged reading of Macbeth, commemorating the Federal Theatre Project's all-Black cast production. Andoh expressed emotional reflections on her experiences at the Folger, particularly regarding Shakespeare's First Folios and the significance of the library's location in the nation's capital.
