Professor says text shows Hathaway lived with playwright in London upending the established idea of an unhappy marriage It has long been assumed that William Shakespeare’s marriage to Anne Hathaway was less than happy He moved to London to pursue his theatrical career leaving her in Stratford-upon-Avon and stipulating in his will that she would receive his “second best bed” Now a leading Shakespeare expert has analysed a fragment of a 17th-century letter that appears to cast dramatic new light on their relationship, overturning the idea that the couple never lived together in London a professor of early modern English literature at the University of Bristol said the text seemed to put the Shakespeares at a previously unknown address in Trinity Lane – now Little Trinity Lane in the City It also has them jointly involved with money that Shakespeare was holding in trust for an orphan named John Butts the letter mentions the death of a Mr Butts and a son who had asked “Mr Shakspaire” to look after money for his children until they came of age It suggests the playwright had resisted attempts to pay money that the young Butts was owed Steggle said: “The letter writer thinks that ‘Mrs Shakspaire’ has independent access to money They hope that Mrs Shakspaire might ‘paye your husbands debte’ “They do not ask Mrs Shakspaire to intercede with her husband who undertakes to pay a debt on her husband’s behalf even though she was previously unaware of it: ‘Knowing how the debt grows Steggle added: “For about the last 200 years the prevailing view has been that Anne Shakespeare stayed in Stratford all her life and perhaps never even went to London.” An illustration of Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare from the 1860s-1870s The couple married in 1582 and had three children Photograph: Heritage Image Partnership/AlamyThis document which refers to the couple who “dwelt in trinitie lane” suggests that she did spend significant time with her husband in the capital The fragment was preserved by accident in the binding of a book in Hereford Cathedral’s library it has remained largely unknown because “no one could identify the names or places involved” Crucial evidence includes the 1608 book in which the fragment was preserved Johannes Piscator’s analyses of biblical texts who was Shakespeare’s neighbour and his first printer Steggle said that it would be a “strange coincidence” for a piece of paper naming a Shakspaire to be bound next to 400 leaves of paper printed by Field “given Field’s extensive known links to the Shakespeares” John Butts seems to have been serving an apprenticeship because the letter mentions “when he hath served his time” Scouring records from the period 1580 to 1650 He also unearthed a 1607 reference to a John Butts in the records of Bridewell an institution whose tasks included the disciplining of unruly apprentices A document told of “his disobedience to his Mother” and that he was “sett to worke” and living on Holywell Street (Shoreditch High Street today) home to several of Shakespeare’s fellow actors and associates It was an area in which Shakespeare worked in the 1590s, first at the Theatre in Shoreditch the principal base for the Lord Chamberlain’s Men throughout those years were involved in innkeeping and victualling nearby working in the hospitality industry in which they were invested … would very much be on the Burbages’ radar So Shakespeare can be linked to Butts through various Norton Folgate contacts.” If the writing on the back of the letter – in another hand – was written by Anne the words would be “the nearest thing to her voice ever known” The research is being published in Shakespeare, the journal of the British Shakespeare Association the day following the anniversary of his birth Steggle writes: “For Shakespeare biographers who favour the narrative of the ‘disastrous marriage’ – in fact for all Shakespeare biographers – the Hereford document should be a horrible AUSTIN

family and coaches coming out here and supporting me were the only people in the whole stadium who knew I could do that Just to be able to put on display in the biggest stage is so awesome." Braden's two victories in 2025 were redemption from a ninth-place finish in discus last year After scratching in his first two attempts to get a mark required to make the event's finals finishing in last place after winning discus at the state track meet in 2023 Braden not only rebounded with two state titles and state record in his final high school track meet More: 2025 UIL State Track And Field Championships: Results More: See every Amarillo-area qualifier in this week's Texas track & field UIL state meet More: Two Texas Panhandle football players sign with Division I programs on early signing day Now a three-time state champion in track and field Braden added to what was already an impressive résumé Braden will head to Colorado Springs to begin his college football career in the fall "(My time at Stratford) has been great," Braden said "The standard there is something else that's not like anywhere else Being around the best coaches in the state And I really don't think I really understand how it is to not have like an outstanding discus coach and shot the coach Braden noted that he may also have the opportunity to compete in discus at Air Force the Elks' senior is preparing for his freshman year on the gridiron in hopes of making the Falcons' travel roster Stratford movie fans will have a chance to learn a little more about the monarchy As King Charles gets set to visit Canada to deliver the throne speech later this month Article contentThe Stratford Film Festival will be presenting two Mid-May screening of The Cowboy and the Queen which tells the unusual story of how an American horse trainer and her majesty struck up this unique friendship The documentary was directed by Andrea Nevins who had originally set out to do a film on the queen’s corgis “Monty told Nevins his life story and she became fascinated not only by his story but by this unlikely friendship between a former rodeo star and the Queen of England,” said Megan Smith-Harris “He was a horse trainer who had a revolutionary way of breaking a horse through gentleness and kindness instead of violence and cruelty Instead of making him a hero in the equestrian world with the Queen and other members of the royal family gently training a horse to accept a saddle and a rider in the less than 30 minutes “Normally to break a horse takes about six weeks and is very cruel and they physically hobble them and whip them and yell at them Monty Roberts’ method was to communicate with the horse to listen to what the horse was telling him and to lead them with his own body language,” Smith-Harris said there will also be an appearance by horse trainer Mallory Phillips and her miniature therapy horse Philipps also volunteers with Out of the Ashes a volunteer-run organization that provides a forever home for more than 90 rescued animals who struggled with PTSD due to abuse from his father and how he saw the benefits of using horses for people inspired Smith-Harris to make Philips a part of the screening and we can all learn that listening and communication is what we need to do today,” she said The film is very relevant to Stratford residents who was “a lasting and constant presence in our lives that led with dignity and kindness,” Smith-Harris said “I know things are pretty fraught right now in the world of politics but I also thought it was important to show that there are other Americans who do lead with kindness and who do listen and do want to to build bridges This is a reminder to everyone to look for the good in the world,” she said watwood@postmedia.com transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

weekend with a tea and tour that might be a perfect gift for mom Offered on Saturday and Sunday (May 11) and continuing on weekends after that the walk starts at the Tom Patterson Theatre A walk along the Avon River to the Stratford Festival will include some historical details about the sites and influential people The walk ends at the Bruce Hotel with a cup of tea and a scone Tour owner Laurie Leduc has brought back some favourites and added a splash of new offerings this season Leduc is bringing back the popular ghost walks “That’s where I point out the different buildings and point out the unique architecture and tell some stories about the people and places and events in the past.” New this year is Steps to the Stage: a history of the Stratford Festival Tour Guests will learn about the early years of Stratford and its development into the Festival City starting with a cruise on the Avon River and then a foot tour around downtown The exterior of the festival’s theatre buildings are showcased as is the role of Festival founder Tom Patterson “It’s just a great opportunity and a new way to explore.” Leduc said walking tours are not just for tourists It’s a great way for locals to see their city and community What’s that saying — one person’s trash is another person’s chip bag dress We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Try refreshing your browser, ortap here to

resourcefulness “It’s a way to celebrate the creativity and talent of local artists while questioning some of the awful things of the fashion industry and turning it into something beautiful exciting and innovative,” Trashion Week co-founder Pamela Coneybeare said “We think it’s a great opportunity to connect with all the talent here in Stratford as well as do something fun and exciting and vibrant in the springtime around Earth Day.” Coneybeare and Jessika Guy came up with the idea in 2017 to inspire and encourage change in how wardrobes and consumer habits are viewed while also sharing tools to make more sustainable fashion choices one of this year’s Trashion Week designs is a dress made from plastic bags used to ship clothing from major retail chains “We associate it with beauty and fun and talent and design,” she said There are stories behind this year’s designs One designer with an affinity for Miss Vickie’s chips made a dress from the empty bags while a mother of two used homework to create her paper piece A “re-fashion” jacket was made by stitching together parts of children’s denim clothing while a revel cafe employee used recycled material from work to create clothing on display in Stratford’s Agora Gallery through Sunday “I love what they’re doing,” gallery owner Cindy Hubert said There’s so much creativity and imagination of the artists.” The gallery has highlighted local artists since 2014 at its downtown space and there was an opening before the next exhibit moves in later this month Trashion Week designs have grabbed attention from those walking past Agora’s storefront “Stratford is a unique place because of the theatre and there are all sorts of costumiers and people interested in this,” she said and they use material in different and very inventive ways Twenty-one designers — some with experience and others trying for the first time including a 10-year-old girl — contributed to this year’s showcase which started with two sold-out runway shows “That’s the goal is to showcase the plethora of talent in this community not just with events but with artists and the gallery,” Landreth said this Trashion Week didn’t feature a competition “This year was purely about community and fashion and togetherness,” Coneybeare said From making wigs to creating costumes and elaborate set designs here’s what it takes to make the Stratford Festival magical When the curtain rises at the Stratford Festival the spotlights shine down on some of the best stage actors in the country But they also illuminate the work of behind-the-scenes artisans whose skills are also essential to the festival’s success carpenters and wig makers – are fine-tuning costumes and set pieces until opening night – and The Globe spoke with six of the festival’s talented makers about their preparations for the 2025 season Mark Smith and his crew of carpenters build the festival’s plays from ground – or Their work typically includes crafting furniture and sets but it can also mean undertaking stage modifications a temporary gutter infill – a type of stage extension – that can be easily collapsed and rolled away will bring the Festival Theatre’s stage closer to the audience for Annie Smith is working on some of the many picture frames that will cover the stage for Sense and Sensibility Some of them have been specially built for the presentation; others have been repurposed from other productions or store-bought and altered Stratford’s carpenters will generally work on shows in order of opening date so its set pieces are not as far along as some of the striking designs for the coming production of Macbeth directed by Robert Lepage “It’s rare to have such a Shakespeare set,” Smith says Before they begin work on any new set pieces Stratford’s designers will scour the festival’s enormous warehouses to see whether any props can be repurposed or modified but much of what appears onstage is custom-made who is in his 26th season with the festival has said one of the biggest challenges in applying his traditional carpentry skills to the stage is learning “how to make things that are fake look real.” Another is ensuring everything is more or less temporary: Set pieces need to be easily disassembled “You don’t want to be grabbing a screw gun every time you need to do a show changeover,” he says The gutter infill for Annie is a good example of Stratford’s sets being built for impermanence From the telltale red curls of Annie to the elegantly coiffed styles of Sense and Sensibility the hairpieces worn by the festival’s players are key to their costumes – and require a deft hand Almost all of Stratford’s wigs are made from human hair; each is tailored to the head of the person who will be wearing it such as ones that are prepurchased synthetic wigs while others made from human hair are built from scratch using a custom foundation with no stretch actors are fitted with a lace front that conforms to the shape of their head and holds the wig in place seamlessly and invisibly several layers of lace are visible on the underside of a wig that has been featured in numerous plays Wigs that are made with real hair require resetting and restyling after each performance The tightly coiled wig that will be worn by Harper Rae Asch so that Frayne won’t have to reset the tidy curls as rigorously after each show which is worn before Annie meets Daddy Warbucks who has been with Stratford for 18 seasons “I’ve always liked working with my hands,” she says Much of Stratford’s behind-the-scenes action focuses on construction but destruction is just as important a part of the magic whether it’s helping an actor look as though they’ve been riding back roads on a motorcycle or living in an orphanage wrecking of fabrics is often key to elevating a character’s wardrobe from mere garments to a part of their identity This year’s Macbeth is set during the North American biker wars of the 1990s so Sylvia Minarcin has painted leather vests to make them look old and dusty She’ll also apply pieces of fabric so it appears to be peeling “You need things to last the run of the show,” Minarcin says of why costumes are not typically actually damaged “We could turn this back into a black leather jacket.” Minarcin is also part of the team responsible for finding the right dyes (or combinations of) to transform textiles into the visions dreamed up by Stratford’s set and costume designers the team catalogues the dye formulas and combinations for the season in several binders Although Stratford generally prioritizes reuse for its costumes a number of characters have been living in the forest a “heavy breakdown.” Her favourite tools for destroying a piece include Dremel tools wire brushes – and a miniature cheese grater whether that’s complementing a costume or maintaining their look and structure through multiple dance numbers Connie Puetz and her team make sure the theatre’s company is always putting the best foot forward Shoes at Stratford are either bought (and modified) or built from scratch Puetz stripped dance shoes of their original colour and then mixed and applied custom paints to match the show’s costumes many of the boots worn by the orphans were custom-made: “They have to be able to do all these acrobatics but we didn’t want them to look like an ankle boot you can buy,” Puetz says shoes often say something about a character Puetz will be affixing gold tips to the toes of her cowboy boots – the only pair in the show with such bling Period-appropriate hats and lavish finishing touches – such as elegant feathers jewels or satin ribbons – can often denote a “good” character from one whose intentions are less than pure Hats constructed for dramas are different from hats built for musical theatre Kaz Maxine explains: “Musicals are fast and dirty.” Many hats must be able to maintain their structure through quick changes Maxine is reinforcing hats built for previous dramatic productions so they can withstand what she calls “musical action,” since the play is not actually a musical who has been working with Stratford since the early 1980s feels at home in the Festival Theatre’s workrooms who can easily sew for leisure on home machines most milliners don’t have the required equipment and facilities in their private dwellings – which means it’s not uncommon to find Maxine working on her own projects behind the scenes Stratford’s sewing and tailoring operations are a sight to behold: Dozens of seamstresses and tailors construct the season’s costumes from the first snip to the last stitch in three dedicated rooms who interpret the costume designers’ sketches into sewing patterns After Farrar-Jackson sees a costume sketch – like this one for Annie‘s Boylan sisters – and meets with the designer to discuss fabric and colour This is done one of two ways: by taking measurements of the actor and then drawing the pattern accordingly or draping fabric onto a stand that’s similar in size to the actor being costumed the designer is able to check in with questions It’s not just conventional clothing that Farrar-Jackson makes: Years ago She bought a plastic dinosaur to get a sense of how it might be constructed drew up measurements for a Ken doll and then scaled them up for a human actor Some costumes require more problem-solving than others such as the maid outfits for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels but they didn’t have adequate stretch for the show’s musical numbers Farrar-Jackson and her team took the backs off the bras filled out the cups and then attached what remained to a spandex corset Farrar-Jackson says she thinks of herself as a “fabric engineer,” combining the artistry of costuming with the strict
