About Arlene Schulman Expertise I have loved Shakespeare all my life, and as a Stage Director and Actor for over twenty-five years I have had the opportunity to study his work in intimate detail. I would be happy to share my knowledge of his plays. I can also help with acting Shakespeare, working with blank verse, character development, script analysis and interpretation. I don`t have as much knowledge in the area of his sonnets, but I can help to understand their meaning and language. I also have some knowledge of his life and of the Globe theatre where he performed his plays, as well as the Royal Shakespeare Company and his birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, and can point you in the direction of some wonderful websites on the subjects as well.

Question I'm pretty new with Shakespeare so i really dont know much...:) Was Shakespeare a very big big poetry writter?
Answer Hi Marisela,
William Shakespeare was one of the greatest dramatists (playwrights) and poets of all time. He wrote 38 plays, as well as 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and another shorter poem.
While he is now known more as a playwright than a poet, his plays were written mostly in verse (that is, poetry) as well, and he would certainly be considered a "very big, big poetry writer."
