Hear ye, hear ye! You are invited to celebrate the birthday of William Shakespeare, bard of Avon and master of words. Tradition tells us he was born on April 23rd, 1564, a date drawn from custom, as children were baptized three days after birth; the parish register of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon records the baptism of William, son of John Shakespeare. In Manchester, we will celebrate with mirth and revelry on Wednesday, April 22nd. Come recite favorite lines, perform scenes, and test thy wit with Shakespearean-themed trivia. Come dressed as nobles or fools, bring a cherished quotation, and let us honor the immortal poet with words, laughter, and cheer.
