You know - Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, Taming of the Shrew! But did you know Shakespeare had a brother? Who was also a writer? His name was Ralph Shakespeare. His writing is nothing like that of his more famous brother. In fact without the famous last name in common you'd never believe they were related.'
