The Bard of Avon and the center for Shakespeare resides in Stratford; but for my money it is easier to see a play by William in London. Stratford is just a short 25 miles or so north of Stow-on-the-Wold and on the way to Coventry.
The right button is a local tour of Stratford. The forward button continues on to Coventry, Ironbridge and North Wales.
