Stratford Upon Avon

I'm back! That's right, Simon David Ace Grossman, Lord High Ruler of all Awesomeness is here to tell you about his latest adventure! 

Yesterday my mother and I hopped on board the 12:18 train to Stratford Upon Avon, following in the footsteps of the great bard himself. For those of you who are unaware, William Shakespeare was born in Stratford. If you don't know whoWilliam Shakespeare was, he was known as The Bard of Avon, owned his own acting company, and and wrote over 35 plays. Please look at the following pictures to learn more.





 This is Shakespeare portrayed as a demon, as many of his plays included death.


This is what some people think Shakespeare would look like nowadays, since he was wildly popular in his time. Also sometimes people like to update his plays and set them in modern times. Did you know that West Side Story is based off of Romeo and Juliette?


This is me standing next to a bust of the bard himself!
