Shakespeare's words
Shakespeare himself invented around 2,000 new words.
Many of today's well-used phrases are also believed to have been coined by the playwright.
These include:
- flesh and blood
- cruel to be kind
- vanish into thin air
- the game is up
- tower of strength

Globe Theatre
The Globe Theatre was built in 1598-99 but burnt down in 1613. It was rebuilt in 1614, only to be destroyed 30 years later.
In 1997 it was re-opened about two hundred yards from the original site. It has lime plastered walls and a thatched roof, just like the original.
Unlike today, Shakespeare's audiences often talked throughout the performances, ate noisy food such as nuts, booed, hissed and hurled things at the actors.

Shakespeare the actor
Shakespeare spent his acting career with a group of actors called the Lord Chamberlain's Company.
When James I became King, in 1603, they renamed themselves the King's Company.
The group performed in two theatres near the banks of the river Thames in London - the Globe and Blackfriars.
