Much ado about Shakespeare. Shakespeare Day

'All the world's a stage ...' and only a few have shaped that stage like William Shakespeare. Every April 23, we celebrate Shakespeare Day, honouring one of England's greatest playwrights and poets. This date is special as it marks both his birth and death. Born in 1564, Shakespeare revolutionised English literature with unforgettable works like 'Hamlet,' 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo and Juliet.' Even four centuries after his death, his influence remains undeniable—his stories continue to captivate, challenge and inspire.

With today's image, we can step inside Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, a faithful reconstruction of the original 1599 theatre, where the Bard's plays once thrilled Elizabethan audiences. The original Globe, built by Shakespeare's acting company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, was tragically destroyed by fire in 1613 when a cannon misfired during a performance of 'Henry VIII.' The modern Globe was designed to replicate the authentic 17th-century experience. With the open-air stage, wooden benches and a standing 'groundlings' area, it's as close as one can get to experiencing Shakespeare as his audience did.
