William Shakespeare, considered the finest English playwright and author to ever have graced this planet, live until 1616. His plays continue to provide entertainment and are especially enjoyed by a broader audience during the summer months at Shakespeare in the Park events and festivals. Some plays are actually free to see while others require tickets and charge a fee.
