David has scored a home run. What opportunities in his PD Village!!!!! Re Wm Shakespeare Not only did the family name come from a young onset parki in Ye Olde Battle ( re-enacted on Bank holidays) Will Shakes speare himself certainly knew Parkinson symptoms as well as any Parki. And the proof is there for all to see It is a passage in Much Ado About Nothing Act 2 scene 1 when all are wearing masks and Antonio is identified by his Parkinson tremor------ Ursula: I know you well enough: you are Signor Antonio Antonio; At a word I am not Ursula; I know you by the waggling of your head. Antonio; To tell you true I counterfeit him. Ursula; You could never do him so ill-well unless you were the very man. Here's his dry hand up and down you are he, you are he. I wonder how many others he has put in his plays? Should we set up a 'Madame Tussaud's wax works' of Shake speare's PWP? We would need movable wax works to make a pile of money on admission fees.
