Stratford Upon Avon-My visit to Shakespeare world!

'Who here knows who William Shakespeare was?' The teacher asked.
'Meeee!!'I screamed.
'Good, now who knows where he was born?'
'I know! I know!'

Right, that's about enough of that. Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon Avon and guess what? I went there last weekend to see a play and visit the village !! I saw As You Like It, one of shakespeare's comedy's about lots of people loving each other and it all getting very confusing. 

I really enjoyed the play, because it was, 
1: It was a Shakespeare  play,
2: It was really funny to watch. 

The only thing that I thought let them down was the fact that they kept over acting at not very dramatic scenes and because they kept shouting unnecessarily. Other than that I found the play really playful and joyful, not to mention the fact that it was really heavily based on a fairy tale come true and falalalalala land. 

Overall I found the town a very happy, exciting place full off tourists! I had a lovely weekend looking at Shakespearian times in great detail. I even went into a Tudor world to take a look at who was around in the Tudor time, other than William Shakespeare. For instance, Henry VIIII? How about the plague? The plague was a terrible disease that ended up in some cases having to have your body being buried with all of the other non-survivors!!! It's not like I want to scare you or anything! 

Also, something very Shakespeare related, guess who is going to be performing Macbeth in June??? And guess who is playing Lady Macbeth??? That's right, me!! I keep forgetting to tell all you guys this so. Now that I've found the time to do it, I told you. I got the part ages ago but I haven't been blogging for a while so the Internet has missed my wonderful reviews.
