The Sunday Post (Shakespeare edition)

Shakespeare is surely the world's most global playwright? Yesterday, Saturday, April 23, marked the 400th anniversary of his death, and so all this past week I've been posting and sharing relevant links,with a focus on Shakespeare in Asia. Today, in the last of the week's posts, a round-up of coverage of the anniversary from the UK press, plus the final daily Shakespeare Twitter spot.
