Shakespeare, Numbers, and Chronograms

Rob Eastaway looks at numbers, quirks, and codes (plus some conspiracy theories) in William Shakespeare's First Folio. Including some interesting historical stuff about the use of numbers in Shakespeare's plays, then some slightly wild conspiracy theories about Francis Bacon and codes in the text. And a bit about chronograms.
