Shakespeare's hometown is located in the small town of Stratford, England. A bronze statue of Shakespeare stands in the town square, surrounded by sculptures of drama characters, and places named after Shakespeare can be seen everywhere. We visited the former residence museum in the town to experience the literary charm of the Renaissance.
Great to be able to witness the room where Billy was born! The staff really know their stuff about the house itself and Tudor times in general.A must see for any book or history lover!

About 1.5 kilometers away from Shakespeare's former residence, you can see this typical British farmhouse, which is the former residence of Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway before her marriage. It has been preserved as much as possible, making people feel as if they have traveled back to the past and slowly experienced it.
A very romantic cottage in a place mentioned in Shakespeare's works.

#Royal Shakespeare's Tit for Tat#
Another Shakespeare play has been unlocked. The version at the end of 2019 can be said to be hot out of the oven. What is amazing is that after four hundred years, human nature is still the same as he portrayed. Power, sexual blackmail, Metoo. The monologue of Regent Angelo instantly reminds people of Frollo, who is "a priest in love with a beauty". Isabella was able to escape unscathed, but she was lucky to meet the Duke who was willing to help, that is, a stronger power. Facts have also proved that the purpose of power is never simple, and it is easy to change the clouds with a flip of the hand. (I thought the Duke was just a melon-eating uncle!
The conspiracy scene is fun to watch, but this so-called happy ending with broken glass is... It doesn't mean that every couple can be called a happy ending, but it can only be said that reality is also realistic. The scene where Isabella pleads for Marianna... Although it is saintly, it is also very realistic.
Digression 1, the girl who plays the pregnant woman is also sitting in a wheelchair when she bows, so did they really invite a disabled actor? That would be great.
Digression 2, the director of the 1950 version is Peter Brook, and the appearance of the heroine Barbara Jefford is much more convincing than this version.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. For hundreds of years, people have performed Shakespeare's famous plays according to their own understanding, and gradually evolved into various styles. Two styles are the main ones. One follows the performances of Shakespeare's time, with simple scenery and no lights. The actors play several roles, often changing hats to become another person, and some jokes can be inserted. The other type has gorgeous stage settings, lighting effects, exquisite performance costumes, classic lines, and superb acting skills. The fog understands that one is an embryo and the other is a reborn porcelain. The two major Shakespeare theaters in the UK (Globe Shakespeare Theater and Royal Shakespeare Theater) respectively perform these two styles. The Globe Shakespeare Theater is located in London and performs embryos; the Royal Shakespeare Theater is located in Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford and performs porcelain.
In Stratford, the hometown of Shakespeare, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on the Avon River performs Shakespeare plays every day. Shakespeare fans who come to the town will go to watch a performance. The plays performed here for hundreds of years are like carefully polished treasures. From stage design to actors' performances, they strive to show the peak state (homework done before leaving). Wu went there because of its reputation. I saw that the theater building was a bit out of place in the town. It was not as gorgeous and magnificent as the usual European theaters. When I sat on the steps and listened to the staff in costumes reciting Shakespeare's famous works, I suddenly realized that I was a bit like Ye Gong who loved dragons, and I couldn't understand a word. I immediately gave up the idea of watching a performance. Everyone knows that Wu is a pseudo-art.
