Getting some thoughts from Will Shakespeare. Ask us anything.

[Aristus]

Relaxing after work.

Good day in clinic for me, profitable day at The Globe for Will and company.

It's microbrew time!

1. My dear Aristus!

So, it sounds as though your Mental Health Day went pretty well?

I hope so!

And were Fridays routine for staging plays?

Enjoy your microbrew!

[Aristus]

2. In Will's day, the theaters were open every day of the week except Sunday.

For just about everyone except farmers, the workday ended around 2 or 2:30. Then it was off to the theater for some entertainment. Plays were in the afternoon so sunlight was not directly on the players or the audience.

It is estimated than over a 50 year period, in a nation of around 3 million ( at that time), over 50 million people saw a play at one of the well-known playhouses!

They went to the theater back then the way we watch TV today...

3. Yorick, is it true what I heard?

Hamlet knew you well?

[Aristus]

5. Will says:

"Aye, mate. Hamlet did know him well. But T'isn't what I wrote, now is it? I simply wrote that the young prince said: ' I knew him, Horatio." In those days, lad, a fool was tasked with making merry with the young ones. Give the Nurse a chance to breath, eh? So Hamlet spent his boyhood w'Yorick."

4. What's for supper?

[Aristus]

6. Chicken Saganaki for me.

Mystery meat and unmentionables for Will.

Will says: "In The Wind, lass! Oceans of love, angel mine! How art my beauty? Art well?"

What a charmer...

7. John Shade needs some help naming his poem.

"But this transparent thingum does require
Some moondrop title. Help me, Will! Pale Fire."
