From Joseph Papp, American's foremost theater producer, and writer Elizabeth Kirkland- a captivating tour through the world of William Shakespeare.

Discover the London of Shakespeare's time, a fascinating place to be-full of mayhem and magic, exploration and exploitation, courtiers and foreigners. Stroll through narrow, winding streets crowded with merchants and minstrels, hoist a pint in a rowdy alehouse, and hurry across the river to the open-air Globe Theater to see that latest play written by a young man named Will Shakespeare.

Shakespeare Alive! spirits you backto the very years of that London-as everyday people might have experienced it. Find out how young people fell in love, how workers and artists made ends meet, what people found funny and what they feared most. Go on location with an Elizabethan theater company to learn how plays were produced, where Shakespeare's plots came from and how he transformed them. Hear the music of Shakespeare's language and words we still use today that were firstspoken in his time. Open the book and elbow your way into the Globe with the groundlings. You'll be joining one of the most democratic audiences the theater has ever known-alewives, apprentices,shoemakers and nobles-in applauding the dazzling wordplay and swordplay brought to you by William Shakespeare.
