Situated in England, Stratford-upon-Avon is the birthpace of the great William Shakespeare (baptized on 26 April 1564, dead on 23 April 1616). It is in a particularly charming house in this small town that the bard was born – the world’s greatest playwright and English poet.

Though he did enjoy appreciation and respect in his own time, Shakespeare’s value and popularity boomed in the 19th century. In present, his plays are the most famous and popular in the theatres around the world.
