Straight Acting: The Queer Lives of Shakespeare Rings exclusively designed for the HaywardShakespeare's work was profoundly influenced by the queer culture of his time much of it totally integrated into mainstream society. From a relentless schooling in Latin and Greek homoeroticism, to a less formal education on the streets and in smoky taverns, from the gender bending of the early comedies to the astonishingly queer literary scene that nurtured Shakespeare's sonnets, this is a story of artistic development and of personal crisis.
