Stratford-on- Avon

April 23^rd is Shakespeare’ s birthday and is also the day he died. Both events happened in STRATFORD-on-AVON, a small town in the centre of England. The first place visitors go to is Shakespeare's birthplace, a small house with small rooms in the centre of the town. Then the visitors can have a look at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, a big modern building. They say it’s the best stage in England.
