All the controversy that surrounds ‘The Bard’ still, after hundreds of years, means very little when faced with the huge volume of the work attributed to William Shakespeare. That the stories are relevant still and the characters so real and vivid are a testament to a lasting body of work that have entered the collective consciousness of, not just England, but the world, even the Galaxy! As the Klingon General Chang was often fond of paraphrasing Shakespeare and uttered his last words: “To be or not to be”. Enjoy national Shakespeare week by seeing a really good show.
