Any good? I read this a while back ...

The Faber Pocket Guide to Shakespeare's Plays By Edited by Kenneth McLeish

... and it might as well have been on nuclear physics for the amount I remember about it. 

Anyway, in today's quizzing news. Musicals definitely not my forte, so 9/10.

It's a readable biography examining centuries of myths, half-truths and lies.

Half way through and it's staggering how much we don't know about him,  more staggering is the bullshit that people make up about him 'under research'.

I started reading it yesterday. The same day he was born, St Georges day.  Well actually we don't know that, we do know he was christened on 26th April, so why not make his birthday the same as St George's Day, excellent.

Unfortunately in 1564 England had the Julian calendar, meaning he was born on the 3rd May😂
