Hello all, please take a look at the video we've made about the 400th
anniversary of Shakespeare's death and our 'Shakespeare in London'
editathon at the University of London's Senate House Library this weekend.

Museum of London Archeology (MOLA) kindly showed us around the dig site of
The Curtain theatre, one of Elizabethan London's main playhouses where
Shakespeare would have performed and directed in the 1590s. Many people
don't know much about the legacy of Shakespearean performance in East
London, as Shakespeare spent the remainder of his career mostly at The Rose
and The Globe on Bankside.
We hope this is an opportunity to enlarge open access knowledge about the
latest developments in our understanding of 16th and 17th century London
and its vibrant culture. Please share our video and let people know about
this weekend's editathon!
