LEARNING ABOUT SHAKESPEARE

These days, that we are at home, and the Book Day is coming,  we could read and watch the story of  wWlliam Shakespeare, a famous English writer.
He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, in England  in 1564.
When he was 14 or 15, he left school. He moved to London and there, at the beginning, he worked as an actor but he started writing plays too. He wrote poems when theatres were closed in 1593, during the plague, a very bad desease.

Those days, theatre was very different:

1. women cannot act and feminin roles were played by young men, 
2. the audience was standig up in front of the stage
3. people shouted, clapped, booed and laughed while they watched the plays 
4. ...

Shakespeare wrote comedies like "Midsummer  night's dream" and tragedies like "Machbeth"

We were watching some of his plays.

A tragedy: Macbeth

A comedy: A midsummer's night dream
