Anything that appears on an image but is not mentioned in the question is either a clue or a red herring. Which is for you to figure out.

I'm assuming that the fact its Shakespeare's birthday is referenced in the outline letters on each of the pictures. He was born in what I always think of as "the other Stratford".

Guessing the letters are:
Romeo & Juliet
Taming of the Shrew
King Leer
RH has me stumped though.
