William Shakespeare was born on the 23rd April 1564 and died on 23rd April 1616. William Shakespeare is recognised across the world as the greatest literary mind in the history of the planet. William Shakespeare is probably the most famous human being to have walked the face of the Earth.

Should we not have a day to recognise this home grown genius? We are calling on the government to make the 23rd April 2007 Shakespeare Day.

See our campaign page, send your name and email address and it will be forwarded to Tony Blair as part of our campaign for a National Shakespeare Day to recognise the genius of William Shakespeare.
