With a plantation on the brink of foreclosure, a young man falls for the part-black daughter of the estate's owner as an evil swindler plots to buy her for himself. Meanwhile, the slaves are trying to keep things drama-free, because everybody else is acting crazy. | |  Painting Shakespeare Discover the paintings collection at the Folger—its stories, its glories, and Shakespeare's power to inspire visual artists. From humble oil sketches to international masterpieces, this exhibition presents a sometimes surprising, and always eye-catching, view of the man and his works. | |  Lotus and Water Lily Festival See stunning beauty and experience diverse cultures that highlight Latin, Asian and African traditions at the annual Lotus and Water Lily Festival. Join the National Park Service for the festival kickoff on July 15, from 10 am to 4 pm and for the weeklong activities that continue through July 22, at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens.
