Shakespeare's Globe
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players
About
Born in Stratford-upon-Avon. Father John was a glove maker and alderman. Mother Mary Arden came from minor gentry -- she brought the land, he brought the craft. I wrote 37 plays, 154 sonnets, and invented roughly 1,700 words in the English language. Assassination. Eyeball. Lonely. Manager. You're welcome. I was an actor, a playwright, a shareholder in the Globe Theatre, and a businessman. I bought the second-largest house in Stratford with my theatre money. The conspiracy theorists say I didn't write the plays because a glove maker's son from the countryside couldn't be a genius. They're snobs. Genius doesn't need a pedigree. It needs a stage.
