It's lovely when someone remembers your birthday. It's really special when they remember the occasion, 450 years on. The birth of William Shakespeare, considered by many the greatest ever playwright and poet, is being commemorated with a huge party this weekend at his birth-place Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England.
