STORICAL SHAKESPEARE SPECIAL
This week marks both the birthday and death day of one of (the?) greatest writer of all time, William Shakespeare! For the Storical Shakespeare Special, we’re doing a primer on his life with some interesting, little known facts about the Bard. All the world’s a stage and he was merely a player…but a player who left a lasting impact on Western culture.
