You wouldn't want to be a Shakespearean actor : some roles you might not want to play
Morley, Jacqueline2016
Book
In 16th century London, you start work as an actor at William Shakespeare's theatre, but soon realise it won't be easy. It'll take an excellent memory, a penchant for wearing dresses and a keen eye for avoiding rotten vegetables. But against all odds, you could do well here - just watch where you're pointing that cannon! Humorous illustrations bring the characters to life, while informative captions explain processes or chronological events.
