I was born here in London 1569. My mother died when I was two years old and since then it have only been me and my father. My father is a pretty wealthy merchant and we got a new home here in the centre of London. The house is big and we got some servants that help us with cooking and cleaning.

It was much bigger inside that it looked like from outside. The scene was enormous and just above the scene the most expensive seats where placed and there two noblemen were seated.
The theatre was crammed with people from all classes. Everyone was on a good mood and so were we. There were two pillars on the scene that holds up the roof. The roof was painted like a heaven with a sun and some clouds.

Then the play begun. When the first actors came in on scene the noblemen stood up and clap their hands so aloud that everyone just stared at them and the actors had to repeat their first lines, (stupid nobles).
