Episode one
Due to your requests I interviewed mister Shakespeare and I collected some interesting information about him. I had some difficulties to meet him, because he had a lot of important engagements. So that is an exclusive interview! I had also received a lot of money, so I'm very proud and I hope you to like my work!
My interview started when mister Shakespeare go out of his coffin. He was very cool wearing a jacking and tie! He look at me and he said a great good morning. After a chat about our environmental problems I started my interview.
My questions were about his life and his journeys. Mister Shakespeare is known thanks to his activity in London. But what did he do before? He lived in Stratford upon Avon, a small town in the Warwickshire on the bank of the river Avon, as a matter of fact he called swan of Avon. He attended the King's New School, where he studied a lot of subjects like Latin, Grammar and Logic. In the 1582 he married Anne Hathaway, due to her early pregnancy. In the 1583 their first daughter Susannah was born and later two twins were born, Hamnet and Judith. Day by day mister Shakespeare realized that his suitable work was writing, so when he received a good job offer he decided to move to London leaving his wife and his sons. Shakespeare moved to London in the 1590. He worked as a writer and an actor and he composed his first drama, Henry VI. It was a great success and thanks to that performance he became quickly famous. But suddenly he were unlucky, because from the 1593 to the 1594, all the playhouses were closed due to a plague epidemic. Thanks to his great intelligence he can composed some poems and he continued to feed his family. Luckily he agreed to work in the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the King's company of actors with Richard Burbage and William Kempe. But after few months his little son Hamnet died and William spent a very difficult period, as a matter of fact he vented his anger writing a well acquainted tragedy, Hamlet.
