William Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616 and made his home in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon in England.

It is a beautiful town on a river with a very artistic and rustic feel about the place.

The Globe Theatre was built in London, England, in 1599. It was owned by Shakespeare’s acting company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men.

Many of Shakespeare’s plays were originally performed here, all the way until the Puritans ordered the Globe to close its doors in 1642.

Green-eyed Monster

A method to my madnessA spotless reputation

For goodness sakeGood riddance

A wild goose chase

Knock knock…who’s there?

Kill all the lawyers.Too much of a good thing

Have seen better days

Wearing your heart on your sleeve

The world’s my oyster.

Put your best foot forward.Breaking the ice.

All’s well that ends well.As luck would have it

Breathed his lastRefused to budge an inch

Every dog will have his day.

The devil incarnateEating me out of house and home

Elbow room

A foregone conclusion

Heart of goldComing full circle

In a pickleKill with kindness

It was Greek to me. What’s done is done.Own flesh and blood

As obvious as the nose on your faceSeen better days

The long and short of itSet my teeth on edge

Laughing stock

Melted into thin airLove is blind

Couldn’t sleep a winkOut of the jaws of death

There’s no such thing.

Send someone packingA sorry sight

To thine own self be true.What the dickens?
