Legends of Shakespeare poaching deer in the park may be dubious, but @CharlecoteNT do have a copy of his 2nd Folio and a 1619 quarto of Merry Wives in their library:

AN ANNOUNCEMENT: Next year's marathon at @ShakesInstitute will be a #Globathon - covering the plays of The Globe Theatre from its beginning until the acquisition of the Blackfriars (1599-1607) - putting the plays of Shakespeare into their context.

Martin speaks for us all in thanking all in the @ShakesInstLib (and especially Kate Welch) for providing texts for every play, every day, and making our marathon run so smoothly.
