点评:Visited Shakespeare’s birthplace as part of a research trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon and I have to say it was such a highlight! Before you get to the actual house, there’s a little exhibition of various artifacts and artworks, so you really get a feel for what life was like in his era before you see where he lived. The day I visited, there were some school children there (I assume as part of a school project) who had some very helpful information for us about what we were seeing . Very adorable (and also informative!)
The house itself was incredible, it made me weirdly emotional to be there and know that’s where Shakespeare was born and lived. The house has been lovingly restored and maintained, and there was a staff member is each room to provide more information. Each member of staff was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly passionate about their subject, I could have listened to them talk for hours! Gift shop staff were also incredibly chatty and sweet.
One thing I would say, nothing to do with the Birthplace, but I bought the Story Ticket online, which gave me access to the Birthplace, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and The New Place, and The New Place is actually closed for winter. There’s no mention of this on the Story Ticket website, so just be aware.
Overall, this is a totally unmissable experience, and I would 100% recommend.
翻译:作为对埃文河畔斯特拉特福的研究之旅的一部分,我参观了莎士比亚的出生地,我不得不说这是一次非常精彩的体验!在到达真正的房子之前,有一个小型展览,展出了各种文物和艺术品,因此在看到他居住的地方之前,您可以真正感受到他那个时代的生活。我参观的那天,那里有一些学童(我猜是学校项目的一部分),他们为我们提供了有关我们所看到的东西的一些非常有用的信息。非常可爱(而且信息量很大!)
房子本身令人难以置信,身处那里并知道那是莎士比亚出生和生活的地方,让我感到异常激动。房子经过精心修复和维护,每个房间都有一名工作人员提供更多信息。每位工作人员不仅知识渊博,而且对他们的主题充满热情,我可以听他们讲几个小时!礼品店的工作人员也非常健谈和亲切。
我想说的是,这与出生地无关,但我在网上购买了故事票,可以进入出生地、安妮·海瑟薇的小屋和新地方,而新地方实际上在冬天关闭了。故事票网站上没有提到这一点,所以请注意。
总的来说,这是一次绝对不容错过的体验,我百分百推荐。
