"There is no evidence to suggest that Shakespeare had sausages for his breakfast on his birthday in 1598 - ergo, he didn't have sausages. One can also surmise that he didn't like sausages; because if he liked them, he would have had them on hiw birthday'

I spent 5 years learning my art(craft) at a not insignificant cost.
I have 50 years experience exercising it.
I am worthy of getting paid.
Like any other self respecting professional.

The critic William Poël said in the 1930s
"Any director who thinks he is bigger than Shakespeare is simply not aware of his own limitations."

This is not a literary examination; it is a look at how, when spoken aloud, the imagery contained becomes vibrant and alive.

Using these examples, we study the effect not only on the player who utters them but also on the audience when hearing them.

This webinar looks at some of the instances of hyperbole and how they are used to heighten the dramatic intensity of the scenes.
The plays are full of examples and the characters who employ them are sometimes defined by their use.

Right.
William Shakespeare - as an actor - was well known by audiences. So if the picture in the frontspiece did not at least resemble him, people would have remarked on it.
That it is a somewhat shoddy piece of workmanship (from a technical point of view) would not have been in play.

In the Shakespeare Authorship Debate, many of the deniers' arguments are based on the printed documents available
What deniers have not researched, in any way it appears to me, is the technology and the working practices of the printing shops of the time. Which renders many of their claims fanciful
