Band of Brothers


 Shakespeare: "Band of Brothers" Sites

  Below are some of the websites relating to Shakespeare and his classic, Henry the Fifth.  As many of you know, it is from Shakespeare that the "Band of Brothers" first came into existence in the anglo-saxon mind.  We, here at BandofBrothers.com, will post progressively more and different sites related to those warrior, literary, civic groups which have become part of the global "band of brothers."  (to go to contemporary paraphrase of famous speech, click here)

"We Happy Few..."
by Gerald Jonas

William Shakespeare died in 1616.  Seven years later, two of his fellow actors paid him a rare tribute.  They collected 36 of his plays -- composed during a busy quarter-century in which he wrote over a million words -- into a book known to posterity as the First Folio.

It is doubtful that Shakespeare ever expected his plays to be preserved in this way.  The great majority of Elizabethan plays were never published. Copyright laws at the time did not cover public performances, and each acting company jealously guarded its scripts to prevent rival companies from stealing them.  While preparing a new play, not even the performers were trusted with a complete playbook; each actor received just the pages with his own lines.  Only the prompter had a fair copy of the entire script.Pbs link
