Character Development - Theatre

My character has to look like it relates to Theatre, so i came to the conclusion that it should be a famous figure in theatre as apposed to just a cliche as i feel it would add to the humour of the work and make it more recognisable to viewers.

Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare Died on the 23rd April 1616

I've chosen to use Shakespeare as my character for Theatre as he is well known around the world for his famous theatre plays which consequently form the foundations of live theatrical performance. His plays are re done in drama classes around the world and i think using an inspiring figure like shakespeare sends out a positive message to its students and adds the illustrious image of theatre strand on a whole.
