Oral Today we know more about Shakespeare than any other play writers of his time because of his mastering of English literature. However, today it is true to say that we have no record of what Shakespeare actually looked like. William Shakespeare was born in Snitterfield, a small town in Stratford on April 23rd, 1564. At this town the youthful William spent his childhood in a leather merchant's family until later on marrying an older woman by the name of Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare was a Christian. Church records give evidence that he was baptised in a Holy Trinity Church on April 26, 1564 with the authority of his parents, John Shakespeare, Mary Arden. Very well known in the town and were mentioned as 'gentlemen' of the time. Shakespeare's father John had a large family of 10 children, William being the eldest. Two of them died at the date of their birth and one past away early in his existence, leaving him with seven. Shakespeare lived a life full of excitement and some say he was lucky to be around at the right time when theatre plays were incredibly popular or Shakespeare might never had been heard of. After a gigantic contribution to the world of literary by writing a grand total of thirty-seven of plays in Shakespeare's life, although there is no exact record of his death but some say in assumption he died on April 23rd, 1616, from the cause of alcoholism.

What is a British film?
What is a British film? Adrian Albon In order for a film to be classified as British it has to fulfil one of a number of criteria. The first type of British film is one where the production company is managed, and controlled in the UK and the film is produced in the UK.70% of the production cost of the film must be spent on filmmaking activity in the UK. If the costs of one or two people are deducted from the total labour costs then the same deductions must be taken from the total production cost before the 70% test is applied. 70% of the total labour cost (minus the cost of one non-EU/EEA etc or non-Commonwealth persons if desired) must have been paid to citizens or residents in the EU/EEA or Commonwealth or Association Countries. Alternatively 75% of the total labour cost, after deducting the cost of two non-EU/EEA etc or non-Commonwealth persons (including one actor) must have been paid to citizens or residents of the EU/EEA or Commonwealth or Association Countries. No more than 10% of the playing time of the film should be visual images from a previously certified film or from a film by a different maker. These points can be summarised as: * The film must be made by a British company or subject; * All studio scenes must be shot in British empire studios; * 75% of labour costs must go to British subjects (excluding one foreign actor or producer); * the author of
William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare It is believed that William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, on April 26th 1564, but in fact this was the date he was baptised and there is no evidence of the date he was actually born. His father, John Shakespeare, was a whittawer by profession and held several important town offices. His mother, Mary Arden, was from a fairly wealthy family. Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway got married in 1582. William was 18 and Anne was 26. Anne and William's first daughter, Susanna, was baptised on May 26th 1582. A set of twins, Hamnet and Judith, were born two years later. In 1596 Hamnet died at the age of eleven. It is believed that Shakespeare did not have a very good education. He attended Stratford Grammer School, a school that specifically served prominent citizens. It is not known how long Shakespeare attended, but it is assumed that this is the only education he received. Between 1585 and 1592 no records of Shakespeare were found. This period of his life is usually referred to as "The Lost Years". Some have speculated that he either became a schoolteacher, became a butcher's apprentice, or he was running from the law during this time. The first evidence of Shakespeare after 1592 was in London. Here he had established himself as a play writer and actor and had found a sponsor, Henry Wriothsley. However Shakespeare's work in

William Shakespeare was the son of John Shakespeare, a leather merchant, and Mary Arden, daughter of a local farmer.

Shakespeare is said to have gone to a free grammar school in his home town, but there is no proof. The excellence and talent of his works show that he had a solid education. Next in Shakespeare's life was his marriage to Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare was 18, but Anne was 26, and she was pregnant. The couple were married on November 26th 1582. Their first child Susannah was born on May 26th 1583. Finally came along the twins, Hamnet and Judith on February 2nd 1585. Sadly, Hamnet died during her childhood at the age of 11.

Gcse Shakespeare Assignment Hamlet In Elizabethan Times People Paid Great Homage To the Queen Elizabeth 1.
GCSE SHAKESPEARE ASSIGNMENT HAMLET In Elizabethan times people paid great homage to the queen Elizabeth 1. During the 16th century there was great tension between parliament and the monarchy, and Elizabeth upset many Catholics, although she did restore peace in the country later on. Popular amusements included music and dancing. The most favoured instruments were the bagpipes, the fiddle, and the lute. Dancing was considered to be good for the mind as well as the body. There was not much technology i.e. TV's, radio's etc, so theatres were very popular. Theatre groups performed forms of drama such as tragedy, comedy, tragic-comedy, and historical. Shakespeare would have had great difficulty with staging because of the lack of props and poor special effects. With no lighting, the actors would have to use dialogue to determine the difference between day and night. A lot of the essential background information had to be expressed in the stage directions. 'And liegemen to the Dane' tells the audience that the play is set in Denmark and the lines ' tis bitter cold' and 'tis now struck twelve' show the time and the weather. Because of the Elizabethan audiences were very superstious, Shakespeare could also use symbolism as an effective alternative. Spirits from heaven tended to come from an upper canopy that represented heaven and spirits from hell came from a trapdoor below the

People of this time believed in God and the devil, and heaven and hell as real places. They also believed in evil spirits and the power of witchcraft and magic. James I himself was interested in the subject, he'd even written several books on it. One Scottish woman called Agnes Sampson was accused of trying to kill James by witchcraft, she was supposed to have attached parts of a dead body to a cat, sailed to sea to cause a storm to wreck the king's ship. People also believed in the Divine right of kings - that kings were appointed by God therefore, to kill a king would be the evilest murder of all. So immediately Shakespeare sets the mood and captures the imagination of the audience by starting the play with the witches
