John Shakespeare

John Shakespeare (c. 1531 – 7 September 1601) was the father of William Shakespeare. He was the son of Richard Shakespeare of Snitterfield, a farmer. He moved to Stratford-upon-Avon and married Mary Arden, with whom he had eight children, five of whom survived into adulthood. A well-to-do glover and whittawer (leather worker) by trade, Shakespeare was a dealer in hides and wool, and was elected to several municipal offices, serving as an alderman and culminating in a term as bailiff, the chief magistrate of the town council, before he fell on hard times for reasons unknown to historians. His fortunes later revived after the success of his son, and he was granted a coat of arms five years before his death, probably at the instigation and expense of his playwright son.

Career and municipal responsibilities

John Shakespeare moved to Stratford-upon-Avon in 1551, where he became a successful businessman involved in several related occupations. From 1556 to 1592, several official records identify him as a glovemaker, which was probably his primary trade, as tradition remembers him as following that trade even into his old age, but the records of his real estate purchases and legal expenses indicate an income much higher than that of a small-town tradesman. The administration of his father's estate in 1561 names him as a farmer. He inherited and leased agricultural lands and is on record as selling timber and barley. Court records also document him as a "brogger", an unlicensed—and therefore illegal—wool dealer. In addition, he bought and leased out houses. He was twice taken to court for violating the usury laws that prohibited charging interest higher than the legal limit of 10 percent.

Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare®Much Ado About Nothing | Trailer

“I do love nothing in the world so well as BOOZE- is not that strange?” Stumbling out of their London local (Leicester Square Theatre) and straight onto a UK wide theatre crawl, hoping to not get BARD along the way, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® go on tour with an all new production of their hit show Much Ado About Nothing. When the sinister bastard Don John and his troupe of bachelor soldiers arrive in Messina, love is in the air as old flames are re-ignited and new desires begin to burn. Maybe some giggle juice will help lubricate the process? Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® is the classic combination of a hacked-to-bits Shakespeare script, half a dozen professional actors and a bucket load of booze! Sounds classical to us. Warning: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® is an adult show for big sensible grownup...

I Didn't Write This - Ep. 5: Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare (feat. Shawn Ryan and John Ainsworth)

"I Didn't Write This" is a new kind of literary adaptation series, in which I adapt and direct excerpts of literature and poetry using visual metaphors and voiceover and whatever else I have on hand. Usually pretty things I found at flea markets. Basically one long commercial for why we read. Sometimes I say things at the end of the episodes. You don't have to watch those parts. Tell me what we should adapt next. New episodes on Fridays! Hopefully. Been a bit swamped so I recorded an alternative to my usual talking section, hope you guys enjoyed it! As an additional apology for my lateness I'll be uploading a production vlog-type thing later this week from the shoots that have prevented me from uploading this video earlier.
