Haste still pays haste, and leisure answers leisure / Like doth quit like, and Measure still for Measure. In 1582, 18-year-old Shakespeare married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. This wasn’t a particularly unusual circumstance it’s estimated that one-third of women in Tudor England were pregnant when they got married! In Measure for Measure, Shakespeare wrote, What's mine is yours and what is yours is mine. And there’s no do...ubt that he was a savvy businessman. He invested in real estate around Stratford, and he owned a one-eighth share of the Globe Theatre. It was located just outside of London, because public playhouses were banned in city limits. The city discouraged crowds because of The Plague, but they also considered plays highly immoral. The preacher Thomas White gave a sermon and said: The cause of plagues is sin, if you look to it well, and the cause of sin are plays, therefore the cause of plagues are plays. Maybe he was right? The area where the Globe was built already attracted masses of people to drink beer, go to brothels, and watch bears baited by dogs. The Globe was an open-air theater; rich people could pay more to sit on a cushion in the balcony, while most people thronged together in the open pit at the center. Those regular audience members were known as groundlings or penny stinkards. Join us this summer in The Woods for the fun www.MammothShakespeareFestival.org See more
