Who is William Shakespeare
4. Shakespeare was born in 1564 on April 23rd. The same date that he died. He was
baptized on the 26th of April. But little was known until the age 18. He was probably
educated at Stratford Grammar School. He had a pretty big family. The first time he
saw a play was when he was 4. He didn't understand the words but loved the sound of
them and loved the costumes.
He also loved watching his father make gloves. That was one of his jobs later on. His
school was very strict. They had very harsh punishments so he had to study a lot.
Sometimes Will had to walk many miles to watch a play that traveling actors put on.
And if no one came with him he would tell all about it when he got home.
If you were thinking all this sounds like Shakespeare was a perfect child, once just for
fun, Shakespeare and his friends stole deer and rabbits from woods that belonged to
Sir Thomas Lucy. That's called poaching. For punishment, Will had to pay a big fine. To
get even, he wrote a poem that made fun of Sir Thomas. He nailed this poem on the
Lucy estate, and Sir Thomas was red hot mad. Many people laughed and felt sorry for
Will.
