- Alternative title
- Uncovering Shakespeare’s House: The Archaeological Dig at New Place
- Synopsis
- Podcast from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Since 2002 the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has supported an archaeological dig on the former grounds of a house called "New Place." New Place was one of the biggest houses in Stratford when Shakespeare was a boy. Once he became a wealthy and famous playwright, he bought it. When he wasn’t in London, he lived there with his family until his death, 19 years later, in 1616. The dig has revealed some clues about how the Shakespeare family lived their lives - what they ate, how they cooked what they ate, and how they worked and played. Kevin Colls is Archaeological Project Manager at the Centre of Archaeology at Staffordshire University in Stoke-on-Trent. Nic Fulcher of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is the Assistant Project Manager at New Place. They are interviewed by Neva Grant.
