Happy 449th Birthday, William Shakespeare!

Happy Birthday to The Bard!
Looking pretty good for 449, huh?

Shakespeare wrote 36 plays (based on the number of plays in the First Folio Folger Shakespeare Library). He was 52 years old when he died. If Shakespeare were still alive today and had continued writing plays at that rate, there would be about 310 of his plays in existence!

Shakespeare's plays were often a comment on the times of his day. What do you think he would write about today? What would the title be?
