[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.
