Have you ever wanted to time travel or wish you lived in another time and another place? The reality of this book and the characters that live on these pages will take you to 16th-century London, where Shakespeare and his band of players lived and worked. Smell the streets of London, taste the food of kings and paupers, and fear the dark alleys where shrouded figures hide as you read about the lives of the young and old men who act out the plays of Shakespeare before a live audience. These men and boys are motivated by fear and hunger and love—and often a jealousy that burns deep in their hearts.
