    About 1.5 kilometers away from Shakespeare's former residence, you can see this typical British farmhouse, which is the former residence of Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway before her marriage. It has been preserved as much as possible, making people feel as if they have traveled back to the past and slowly experienced it.

    #Royal Shakespeare's Tit for Tat# Another Shakespeare play has been unlocked. The version at the end of 2019 can be said to be hot out of the oven. What is amazing is that after four hundred years, human nature is still the same as he portrayed. Power, sexual blackmail, Metoo. The monologue of Regent Angelo instantly reminds people of Frollo, who is "a priest in love with a beauty". Isabella was able to escape unscathed, but she was lucky to meet the Duke who was willing to help, that is, a stronger power. Facts have also proved that the purpose of power is never simple, and it is easy to change the clouds with a flip of the hand. (I thought the Duke was just a melon-eating uncle! The conspiracy scene is fun to watch, but this so-called happy ending with broken glass is... It doesn't mean that every couple can be called a happy ending, but it can only be said that reality is also realistic. The scene where Isabella pleads for Marianna... Although it is saintly, it is also very realistic. Digression 1, the girl who plays the pregnant woman is also sitting in a wheelchair when she bows, so did they really invite a disabled actor? That would be great. Digression 2, the director of the 1950 version is Peter Brook, and the appearance of the heroine Barbara Jefford is much more convincing than this version.
