Professional actors will be performing monologues and scenes throughout the day, including Shakespeare himself! There will be costumed living history interpreters on the grounds who speak the dialect of the period. Experience a London street scene where you can SEE and SMELL what it was like in 1614! Visit a working Still House where medicines and potions are being made. Participate in children’s games of the period. Renaissance dancing instruction will be offered. Search the grounds for the replica of Shakespeare’s tombstone. Stroll the gardens which will be at the height of their bloom!
