Did you know Shakespeare was born into a plague? Not just any plague, THE plague. The “Black Death” ravaged Europe and changed the world as we knew it. You can see it’s effect in Shakespeare’s art and how his works shaped what we know as theatre to this day. Much like then as today, theatres were forced to leave the ghost light on, close their doors, and witness the world became a little less bright. Out of the ashes emerged, what is widely accepted to be, the greatest work of the greatest playwright of all time. Cue Shakespeare!
