Happy Birthday William Shakespeare

The years seem  fly by and here it is William Shakespeare’s 447th birthday. 

The Shakespeare Club of Grafton will commemorate the day with its annual Shakespeare’s Birthday Bash at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April  9 at the Brigham Hill Community Barn. 

Although his actual birth date is unknown, it is generally celebrated on April 23.
His birth was recorded on April 26, 1564.  He died April 23, 1616.

The anniversary of birth of the greatest playwright of all time is celebrated with a
festive banquet, games, music and entertainment including the crowning
of a king and queen. Those in attendance wear Elizabethan costumes, or
at least sport a mask.  This year’s gala will feature the Wayside
Steppers, with some participation by the guests encouraged.

The party will be a catered event with birthday cake included. Tickets are $25 for club members and $30 for non-members.
