    • Episode 10-The Stage of Life
      Aug 5 2025

      "All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players." – William Shakespeare

      This week on Quotable History, we step behind the curtain and into the world of one of history’s greatest storytellers: William Shakespeare. From muddy streets in Stratford-upon-Avon to the bustling stages of Elizabethan London, host Will Henry explores how a glove maker’s son became the most influential playwright in the English language.

      We examine the legacy of the man who gave us Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet—and reflect on what it means that we’re all just players on the grand stage of life. Whether you’ve seen a Broadway hit or a local high school play, this episode is a tribute to the power of theater—and to the enduring wisdom of Shakespeare.
