What it is:
Everything you need to host an Elizabethan Dinner Party just like Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway, might have held in the White Swan Tavern (which still stands today) in Stratford-upon-Avon, in May 1583.
Why we love it:
The Shakespeare Dinner Party Pack lets you and eight guests go back in time and experience what a dinner party with Shakespeare might have been like. Bringing the sounds, sights, and smells of Elizabethan Stratford-upon-Avon to your home, the kit includes custom invitations, food and drink recipes and historical background booklets, a CD of period music, and 48 trivia questions to keep the party going long after the curtain's fallen. All the recipes have been re-created for modern times by Carol Wilson, an historic cooking expert and member of the British Guild of Food Writers.
