'To be, or not to be...'
William Shakespeare was (possibly) born today in 1564, and died today in 1616.
To celebrate, here's Richard Burton's goosebump-inducing performance of Hamlet's soliloquy on Broadway in 1964.
Happy birthday, bard!

My late grandfather Jack Hathaway claimed descent from Richard, whose eldest daughter Agnes (Anne) married William Shakespeare

Fact or otherwise, it's a curious slice of family lore

I wonder what Mr Shakespaw would have made of the UK Emergency Alert test on his birthday. Possibly, ‘Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.’ (Macbeth) 😹🎂🎉
