William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, now widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Source: Wikipedia

All nine "Scenes from Shakespeare" are visible on the north side of the building. Over the doors are "Tragedy" (far left) and "Comedy" (right).

On the west side of the building (not visible here) is the Puck fountain
