Crystal and Antonio are both studying at the University of Warwick and living in Coventry.  They had made a special trip to Stratford in order to experience the house where Shakespeare was born and raised.

Deborah had come all the way from the Caribbean to visit the Birthplace and told me how she felt being in the home of Shakespeare.

Shelly and Remi, visiting from Paris, talk under an umbrella in the rainy garden of Shakespeare’s Birthplace.   Meeting them was a great way to be reminded that no one writes about romance like Shakespeare and that there is a little bit of Romeo and Juliet in all of us.
