Shakespeare was here

I won't call it a trap, but Stratford-upon-Avon is most definitely a tourist town. If you have the time, and money, you can visit many sites that were importat in Shakespeare's life, and probably some that weren't so important.

We had traveled to Stratford for the plays. Our first night there we saw a dissapointing performance of King Lear the first night and a SPECTACULAR performance of The Dog in the Manger our second night there. The Playwright, Lope de Vega led a most extraordinary life, and you really should catch a performance of one of his plays sometime. If this performance was any indicator you will have a most enjoyable time. And with some 500 surviving plays of the over 2,200 written it can't be too hard to find a performance near you.
