Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and died in 1616.
Although his plays were written 400 years ago they are full of characters, dilemmas and stories we all still recognise.

You’ll find key facts, key scenes, pictures from past productions, videos of actors and directors working on and performing the plays AND find out about all the main characters and how they relate to each other.

Just choose a play and enjoy!
