1 Romeo and Juliet William Shakespeare Materials for: Language and Literature Valley Southwoods High School
2 All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players... (from Shakespeare s As You Like It)
3 About The Bard... Nobody knows Shakespeare s true birthday. The closest we can come is the date of his baptism on April the 26th, By tradition and guesswork, William is assumed to have been born three days earlier on April the 23rd, a date now commonly used to celebrate the famous Bard's birthday. Color coding was used to advertise the type of play to be performed - a black flag meant a tragedy, white a comedy, and red a history. The average number of actors required for a Shakespearean comedy is 18. For the tragedies, it's 27. Histories require 35. Shakespeare, one of literature s greatest figures, never attended a university. The Bard lost a play. The play Cardenio that has been credited to the Bard and which was performed in his life, has been completely lost to time. Today we have no written record of its story whatsoever. Shakespeare's surviving works add up to a staggering 884,647 words and 118,406 lines. At the start of the play after collecting money from the audience, the admission collectors put the boxes in a room backstage - the box office. Shakespeare s grave reads: Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbeare To dig the dust enclosed here; Blest be the man that spares these stones, And curst be he that moves my bones. William never published any of his plays. We read his plays today only because his fellow actors John Hemminges and Henry Condell, posthumously recorded his work as a dedication to their fellow actor in 1623, publishing 36 of William s plays. This collection known as The First Folio is the source from which all published Shakespeare books are derived and is an important proof that he authored his plays. In Shakespeare s time copyright did not exist! Rival theater companies would send their members to attend plays to produce unauthorised copies of plays - notes were made and copied as quickly as possible. The Bard's will gave most of his property to Susanna, his first child and not to his wife Anne Hathaway. Instead his loyal wife infamously received his "second-best bed. The Bard's second best bed wasn t so bad, it was his marriage bed; his best bed was for guests.
4 "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." (from Shakespeare s Romeo and Juliet)
