>Historians believe Shakespeare was born on this day in 1564, the same day he died in 1616. Although the plays of William Shakespeare may be the most widely read works in the English language, little is known for certain about the playwright himself.

And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

I don't go to Shakespeare plays anymore, because they always change the location, the costumes and insert winks and references to current events or put too much fart and sex jokes (granted, Shakespeare wrote a lot of those) to appeal to the plebs.
