[00:03.23] Chapter 6 Death in the family
[00:08.50] After the plague years, we were busy all the time.
[00:13.61] There were new companies of players and Will now belonged to the Lord Chamberlain's Men．
[00:20.64] The Lord Chamberlain was a very important man，close to the Queen，
[00:26.66] and we often put on plays for the Queen's court，and in the houses of the great lords of England．
[00:34.76] We had some very good actors．
[00:37.90] There was Will，and Richard Burbage，of course，and John Heminges．
[00:44.38] And there was Augustine Phillips，Henry Condell，and Thomas Pope．
[00:50.04] There were other actors，too，but those six were the real company．
[00:55.91] They worked together for more than twenty years．And made a lot of money，too．
[01:04.86] I did the costumes and properties for the Chamberlain's
[01:09.31] John Heminges said I was the best properties man in the city．
[01:14.78] Will was special—because he wrote the plays．
[01:19.03] And what plays they were！He never wrote the same play twice，like some writers．
[01:26.26] He was always trying something new，something different.And he wrote fast，too．
[01:34.45] John Heminges could never understand that．
[01:38.88] How can you write so fast，Will？he asked him．
[01:43.38] And you never make a mistake or change a word．
[01:49.48] Will didn't really understand it himself．
[01:53.52] It's all in my head，he said．I think about it，
[01:57.98] and then it just comes out on paper．
[02:02.84] He wrote a play about love in 1595．Young love．
[02:09.20] It was Romeo and Juliet．
[02:13.19] It was a very sad play，because the young lovers die at the end．
[02:18.97] But the playgoers loved it．
[02:21.80] They wanted to see it again and again．
[02:27.46] Will played the part of old Capulet，Juliet's father．
[02:33.33] One of the boy actors played the part of Juliet．
[02:37.48] There were no women actors，so boys played all the women's parts．
[02:43.35] Of course， Will never put real love-making on stage．
[02:48.46] He did it all with words—clever，beautiful words，
[02:54.43] and you forgot that the women and girls were really boys in dresses．
[03:00.45] Some of the boy actors were very good，and went on to play men's parts when they were older．
[03:09.81] We played Romeo and Juliet at Richmond Palace that year．
[03:15.02] We always played before the Queen at Christmas．
[03:19.32] She liked to see the new plays，and she paid us 10 a play．
[03:26.09] We often had to work through the night to get the stage ready in time，
[03:31.51] but it was exciting to be in one of the Queen's palaces at Christmas．
[03:36.62] There was a lot of singing and dancing，and eating and drinking．
[03:42.44] Some years Christmas began in November and didn't finish until February or March．
[03:50.43] The year 1596 began well，but that summer the weather was really bad．
[03:59.29] Cold．Wet．It never stopped raining，and the plague began to come back into London．
[04:10.62] We were in Stratford for the summer,
[04:13.55] but I went down to Hampshire for a few weeks to do some business for Will about some sheep．
[04:21.24] Will didn't need me at home，because he was busy writing his new play,A Midsummer Night's Dream．
[04:30.55] I came back to Stratford one wet August evening．
[04:35.81] The house in Henley Street was strangely quiet，and I went round the back and up to Will's room—his writing room， we called it．
[04:48.32] He was just sitting there not doing anything，just sitting．
[04:57.42] What's the matter，Will？I said.Where is everybody？
[05:03.74] At church．His face was grey，and his eyes looked empty，dead．
[05:12.40] What's happened？I asked．What is it？
[05:18.17] He looked at me.Hamnet… he began．
[05:24.84] Hamnet was ill last week，and…and he died，yesterday．
[05:34.15] He was only eleven，Toby，and he's dead．My boy．
[05:41.24] My only son．He's dead，Toby．Dead．
[05:49.48] He put his face in his hands．
[05:53.78] What Can you say to a man when something like that happens to him？
[05:59.44] I sat down next to him and put my hand on his arm．
[06:05.61] We sat together，silently．
[06:10.21] I knew that Will loved that boy of his—red-haired，bright as a new penny，
[06:18.26] full of life．Just like his father．
[06:22.66] After a while I said，You'll have other sons
[06:30.63] Anne's forty already．Will's voice was tired．
[06:36.70] She's had no children since the twins．
[06:41.35] Well，now，you've got two fine girls in Susanna and Judith．
[06:47.47] They'll marry before long，and then you'll have more grandsons than you can count．
[06:53.48] You'll see．There'll be boys running up and down stairs，shouting for their Granddad Will！
[07:02.59] He smiled sadly，but his eyes were not so empty now．Pleased，I went on quickly：
[07:10.84] And there are all your brothers—Gilbert，Richard，Edmund．
[07:16.15] They'll have sons too．The Shakespeare family will never die out．
[07:22.42] Think of the family，Will，the family！
[07:27.22] And he did．He was already a famous poet and playwright，but he was a family man，too．
[07:36.39] The next year，1597，he bought a new house for his family．
[07:42.41] It was a big，grand house，called New Place，right in the middle of Stratford．
[07:50.87] It cost 60 pounds, a lot of money—and the townspeople began to say Mr Shakespeare，
[08:00.84] not Young Will the actororJohn Shakespeare's boy．
[08:06.55] They were happy to do business with him，and to borrow money from him．
[08:13.68] Anne was very pleased with the new house．
[08:17.63] The wife of Mr Shakespeare of New Place was an important person in Stratford．
[08:24.36] But she still didn't like Will's work．
[08:29.26] Actors are wild，dangerous people，she often said to him．
[08:34.77] I'm not interested in plays or the theatre，
[08:38.46] and I don't want to know anything about your work．
[08:43.57] But she liked the money，and the new house，and the new dresses,
[08:48.27] and the six fields of apple trees and the big farm north of Stratford that came a few years later．
[09:00.36] Will never talked much about Hamnet．
[09:03.80] Life goes on and Will was busier than ever．
[09:07.70] But I know he thought about his son a lot；
[09:11.64] his grief was very deep inside him．A year or two later，
[09:17.61] I was talking to John Heminges abut the costumes for Will's new play，King John．
[09:25.61] John Heminges was a family man—he had fourteen children in the end．
[09:31.98] The noise is his house！Shouting and laughing，coming and going…
[09:39.62] John was looking at the playbook．
[09:43.16] You see this bit here，Toby，he said．
[09:47.70] Will's writing about his son，isn't he？
[09:52.35] I read the words slowly，and remembered Will's empty eyes that day in August．
[10:01.26] Grief fills the room up of my absent child，
[10:06.02] Lies in his bed，walks up and down with me，
[10:10.88] Puts on his pretty looks，repeats his words…
[10:17.41] Richard Burbage said once that Will's writing changed after Hamnet's death．
[10:24.09] Will still laughed at people in his plays，
[10:27.53] but he also felt sorry for them—sorry for all the world，good and bad，rich and poor，young and old．And his people were real．
[10:41.18] No one was all good， or all bad．
[10:46.04] There was a man called Shylock in his play The Merchant of Venice．
[10:51.81] This Shylock was a money-lender and a cruel man—everyone hated him．
[10:59.75] But in the end，when Shylock lost everything，you had to feel sorry for him．
[11:07.13] He was just a sad old man．
[11:11.48] Perhaps Richard was right．And if anyone understood Will，it was Richard Burbage．
