Shakespeare 2016 Wall Calendar

William Shakespeare (English, 15641616), playwright, poet, and actor during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, wrote with a virtuosos mastery of wordplay, turn of phrase, insult, and double meaning. Many details of Shakespeares life seem as though they were plucked out of one of his plays: from anti-Stratfordian conspiracy theories about the real authorship of Shakespeares works to the history of the Globe Theatre, and also plagues, deceptions, wars, and even a nine-day jig. Each month of this calendar presents trivia about Shakespeares life and times coupled with twelve opulent images inspired by the Bards sublime storytelling.
