Shakespeare

Hey everyone i can honestly say that i have not read any of Shakespeare's' poetry and i haven't seen any of his plays but i have seen some of his modern work such as Ten things i hate about you. I know that Shakespeare is a famous poet and that he was involved with writing plays, comedy and also tragedy. He was well known back in the 16Th century. Mr S is putting a play but i am not interested in being apart of this because i strongly dislike drama and acting.
