There is very little known about the original performance of this play, which has been edited and added to due to having only an incomplete script. It was first staged in 1613 and was a collaboration between Shakespeare and fellow author Fletcher.

The portrait that has made news for the last month was finally unveiled today at (appropriately) Stratford-on-Avon in honor of Shakespeare’s birthday tomorrow as they open a new exhibit.
There is an amusing blurb about Talk Like Shakespeare Day (which is tomorrow – don’t forget! ), which links to a website that has been set up specifically for TLSD in Chicago.
