. . . Shake-Up Shakespeare |
William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford Upon Avon and went on to write around 38 plays, 154 sonnets and numerous other poems. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language. His plays are performed more often than those of any other playwright and he invented over 1,500 words that are still used today.
