Happy Birthday Bill Shakespeare

William Shakespeare born April 23, 1564

We spent yesterday afternoon on Navy Pier in Chicago watching the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre's gloriously damp production of Twelfth Night . You have to see it to appreciate just how wet a show can be. Let's just say that the pool is deep enough to do front flips into.

And we'll strive to please you every day." Feste Act V Twelfth Night
