WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE 1564 - 1616

William Shakespeare is one of world greatest poets. He was born on the 20th of April 1564. He was born in a small English town Stratford-on-Avon. William got a good education at the local grammar .

At that time actors and actresses in sited Stratford-on-Avon. William liked to watch them. He decided to become an actor and went to London. He became an actor at the Globe theatre. There he began to write plays. So he became a play writer. In plays Shakespeare described the most important and dramatic events in life.

Shakespeare's tragedies are large-scale, grandiose in their conflicts, extraordinary in the strength of the feelings of the characters. It shows not only the external, but also the internal, spiritual struggle of a person, his characters are not one-dimensional: we find flaws in the positive ones, and virtues in the negative ones. Shakespeare poses the most profound and significant questions of human life and gives them serious and wise answers

MOVED TO WORK IN LONDON AT THE AGE OF 23. JOINED A TRAVELLING COMPANY OF ACTORS WORKED BOTH AS AN ACTOR AND A WRITER. THE MOST OF HIS PLAYS WERE PERFORMED IN THE NEW GLOBE THEATRE

It is not known exactly when Shakespeare began writing, but contemporary allusions and records of performances show that several of his plays were on the London stage by1592. From 1594, Shakespeare's plays were performed only by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, a company owned by a group of players, including Shakespeare, that soon became the leading playing company in London. After the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, the company was awarded a royal patent by the new king, James I, and changed its name to the King's Men. Some of Shakespeare's plays were published in quarto editions from By 1598, his name had become a selling point and began to appear on the title pages. Shakespeare continued to act in his own and other plays after his success as a playwright. Shakespeare divided his time between London and Stratford during his career. In 1596, the year before he bought New Place as his family home in Stratford, Shakespeare was living in the parish of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, north of the River Thames. He moved across the river to Southwark by 1599, the year his company constructed the Globe Theatre there.

Most playwrights of the period typically collaborated with others at some point, and critics agree that Shakespeare did the same, mostly early and late in his career. The first recorded works of Shakespeare are Richard III and the three parts of Henry VI, written in the early 1590s during a vogue for historical drama. Shakespeare's plays are difficult to date, however, and studies of the texts suggest that Titus Andronicus, The Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew and The Two Gentlemen of Verona may also belong to Shakespeare’s earliest period. Shakespeare's early classical and Italianate comedies, containing tight double plots and precise comic sequences, give way in the mid-1590s to the romantic atmosphere of his greatest comedies. In the early 1600s, Shakespeare wrote the so-called "problem plays" Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida, and All's Well That Ends Well and a number of his best known tragedies.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of William Shakespeare about two teenage "star-cross'd lovers"whose untimely deaths ultimately unite their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal "young lovers".
