April 23, 1564, is believed to be the birthdate of English poet and dramatist William Shakespeare; he died 52 years later, also on April 23. so Happy Birthday to the bard! anyone have a favorite Shakespearean piece?

I enjoy reading some of Shakespeare's works.

Macbeth is a favorite.

HAMLET

I quote it regularily IRL. Okay. Used to. I'm a geek in different ways now.

I thought there was some doubt if Shakespeare was a real person. Many think it was a pseudonym. Is this a conspiracy theory?
