No:

That is because "thou" art a woman".  Thine own self understandeth not what thou proffesseth to.

Sorry dude, and I know, bang goes any chance of ten points, but you aren't a Shakespearian actor.

I swear on Edward De Veres life.

Thou art an onanist!

Your father doth at first lights break sally forth behind a cart dustbins to vacate,till dusk whence he repairs to the ale house and there with fecund wench doth make merry.

Answer 8

Thy father a glove maker plied his trade

With honour and high reknown and gave

To thee a knowlege deep, well sewn and not

Of mere buckram prune and prunella but

Of hawks and handsells, power, politics

And lies

I've wanted all my adult life to see Macbeth as performed to a Jacobean Court. Please?

Answer 9

John Shakespeare was the father of William

He lived between 1531 - 1601

John's father, Richard Shakespeare, was a tenant farmer of Robert Arden of Wilmecote

John was illiterate - he used glovers compasses as his signature!

He moved to Stratford-upon-Avon in 1551 to set up business trading in animals, wool, malt and corn

His father Richard produced the goods and John sold them!

He bought a house in Henley Street, Stratford , which was conveniently near the market

John Shakespeare used the skins of animals to set up trade as as a Glover and Whittawer (making saddles, harnesses and fine leather gloves)

He sold goods to the wealthy and made the right connections in Stratford - an ambitious man!

John was also involved in the dubious business of money lending!

He made enough money to purchase another house in Greenhill Street, Stratford in 1552

He married Mary Arden in 1557 - great marriage as she was the daughter of the wealthy Robert Arden

John and Mary married at the ages of 26 and 17 respectively (a year after her father had died)

In 1557 John Shakespeare was obtained Public Office when he was elected as ale-taster of the Borough of Stratford (an important role as people drank ale which was safer to drink than water!)

John and Mary had eight children between 1558 - 1580

John became important and was elected Chamberlain of Stratford in 1561, Alderman in 1565 and Mayor in 1568

Answer: Mayor of Stratford!

I'll pass thy offer of a backstage pass, I am afraid that I am a couple hundred years late for that paticular showing of Macbeth!

God Bless thee.
