Shakespeare was a wordsmith - it's about words!

Yes, we love Will's characters but remember it's all about the words. The amazing phrases, memorable quotes, and countless words we use everyday!

Did you know it's estimated that about 1,700 words in his plays were invented by him?

Words that are now common usage. I've captured some in bright colours in an original print - Words Words Words. Just one of my words and quotes inspired series.
