On April 23, 1564 a son, William, was born to John and Mary Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon. His female parent was the daughter of a farmer. His father was a glove-maker. William went to a grammar school in Stratford and had quite a good didactics. There he learned to love reading. While still a teenager, William married Anne Hathaway, a farmer�southward daughter some years older than himself. We don�t know how he earned his living during these early on years, perchance he helped his begetter in the family concern. During these years his three children were born: Susannah, the eldest, then twins � a son, Hamnet (not Hamlet), and another daughter, Judith. In 1587 Shakespeare went to work in London, leaving Anne and the children at dwelling. Nosotros don�t know exactly why he did it. Some people say that the reason was his love of poetry and theatre. But at that place is another story which says that he had to run away from law because he killed some deer belonging to a rich human.

In London Shakespeare began to act and to write plays and soon became an important fellow member of a well-known acting company. Nigh of his plays were performed in the new Earth Theatre built on the bank of the River Thames. In 1613 he stopped writing and went to live in Stratford where he died in 1616.

Four hundred years later his plays are still acted � non only in England but in the whole earth.

THE ACTORS COME TO TOWN

(from the book �William Shakespeare� by Jennifer Basset)

The story is told by Will Shakespeare�s friend, Toby. forty. Will married Anne Hathaway in November and she came to live in Henley Street. John Shakespeare was pleased that his oldest son was married just I don�t recall Volition�s mother wanted him to marry then young: Will was only eighteen.

Susannah was built-in the next twelvemonth. All babies look the same to me only Will was very pleased with her.

�Look, Toby, she�s got my eyes,� he said happily. �She�s going to exist every bit cute as the Queen of Egypt and as clever as King Solomon.�

�Oh yes!� I said. �All parents talk similar that near their children.� I knew Will�due south wife Anne didn�t similar me. To her, I was one of Will�due south wild friends who got him into trouble. She came from a very serious, puritan^one family. A lot ofvchurch-going and no singing or dancing. But Will and I withal went around together when we could.

Soon there was another baby on the way² and one evening in February 1585 I hurried circular to Henley Street to hear the news. Will�s sis, Joan, opened the door, and so Will came running downward the stairs.

�It�s 2 of them!� he said. �Twins! A girl and a male child. Isn�t that wonderful!� Volition called the twins Hamnet and Judith. John Shakespeare was very pleased to have his first grandson and everyone was happy. For a while.

Will was withal reading and writing simply he had changed. He was twenty-three at present and he was not happy with his life.

�Stratford�south also small, Toby,� he said. �Also slow. Too serenity. Besides tiresome. I�ve got to get away.�

�Aye, merely how?� I asked. �You lot�ve got a family unit � three young children, think.�

He didn�t respond.

In the summertime months companies of players often came to small towns and in 1587 five unlike companies came to Stratford. Will and I always went to see the plays. Will loved to talk to the actors and to listen to all their stories of London.

The Queen�s Men came to Stratford in June and nosotros went to see the play. I don�t remember what information technology was. I know that I laughed a lot, and that Will said information technology was a stupid play with not a word of poetry in it.

�Why don�t you write a play yourself?� I asked him.

�Write a play?� he laughed. �Anne will never speak to me again.�

I didn�t say annihilation and Will looked at me and laughed again.

It happened a few months later. I walked into the Shakespeares� kitchen one evening and there was Anne with a red, aroused face, shouting at the top of her voice.

�How can yous practise this to me? And what about the children?� And so she saw me and stopped.

Will was sitting at the table and looked pleased to see me. �I�ve told Anne,� he said quietly, �that I�m going to alive in London. I want to be an actor and to write plays if I can.�

�Plays!� screamed Anne. �Acting! Actors are muddy, wicked people! They�re all thieves and criminals! They drinkable all 24-hour interval and they never become to church...�

�Don�t be stupid, Anne. You lot know that�s not true. Listen. I�ll come up home when I tin just I must go to London. I tin�t do anything in Stratford.� He looked at me across the room. �Are you coming with me, Toby?�

�How soon shall we kickoff?� I asked.
