Is it Shakespeare’s birthday today?

Most people would say yesterday. But there is no official record of his birth. The nearest there is, is record of his christening on 26th April. In those times generally babies were christened 3 days after birth due to high infant mortality. Maybe Shakespeare was christened day he was born or day after?

To be safe to the party 🎉 continues untill 26th April.

Shakespeare blog party continuing untill 26th April

On this quintessential sunny Sunday afternoon. The pimms is flowing …

At Shakespeare’s bar by the river in Richmond. Deeper in the city sweaty runners have run the London marathon. Here it is glamorous as St George’s day and Shakespeare’sbirthday are celebrated.

Not yet middsumers , however, the Sun in shining and thirsts are being quenched with pimms and gins and tonics.

Lady Macbeth and Henry Macbeth’s feisty granddaughters flirt with their suitors who use lines like ‘shall I compare these to a summers day’. Inside Portia props up the bar; she may let men buy here drinks but it means nothing; she will not settle for just anyone.

Come and join the party.
