Shakespeare

Will Shakespeare dreamed of becoming an actor and a playwright. At nineteen he left his home town of Stratford and headed for London, following his dream. He became an actor, part owner of the Globe theatre - and the greatest playwright of all time. 400 years on, his plays are even more popular. They are performed in theatres all over the world.
