Corrected entry: Shakespeare talks a lot about acts and scenes, but he never sorted his plays into acts and scenes. This was done long after he died by someone else.

Corrected entry: When Shakespeare is playing Romeo at the end and is doing the poison drinking scene, he first opens the bottle, says what he has to say and in the next shot he opens the bottle again before he actually drinks the stuff.
Correction: We see him open it then give his speech but the shot where he drinks from the bottle is from behind him and the bottle can't be seen. Although his free hand reaches to the bottle, we can only speculate why, we certainly can't see him open it a second time.

Correction: He may not have written the act and scene breaks into the scripts. However, since he's writing and directing the play, there is an understanding between him and the actors as to where each scene and act starts/ finishes.
