A disguised era of shame and hidden from society; this is London 1665. Then suddenly the theatre announces promiscuity, power and cuckolding to give their audience a profound idea of relationships. Women were subordinated by not having the freedom and intelligence to experience what men behold.

Reading the assignments from the Elizabethan Era brought me great joy, mainly due to the fact that Shakespeare just makes me happy; I think this is actually the case with many people, they just don’t know it.

This love reached all new heights when I traveled to London and saw Shakespeare Reduced performed live…

In Act 2, we saw another example of Willy…

I now believe that adding theater to a child’s life can…
