Shakespeare was known to be one of the best play writers in the history of England, maybe even the world. he was born in Stratford upon Aven in 1564 . Most of his family were farmers so he wasn't really born into wealth. but this didn't stop him from becoming one of the best writers in history. In 1582 Shakespeare married a woman named Ann Hathaway they had 3 children a girl named Susanna and twins called Hamnet and Judith. sadly Hamnet died when he was 11.
In 1588 Shakespeare and his family moved to London. this was when Shakespeare was starting to get noticed as a talented writer and poet. as he was doing well he joined a theatrical group called lord chamberlains men. Shakespeare was getting very successful he performed in front of very important people at the time like queen Elizabeth 1 and king James 1.he even built a theater for his plays.......
the globe theater only performed plays in summer as they had no heating therefore it was very cold in winter. these plays could hold up to 3000 people. Shakespeare and his company built to globe theaters mostly out of old timber and wood. not only acting took place here bear fighting was also introduced here too. it was built soert of like a Colosseum so it could hold alot of people. women were not allowed to perform i these plays normally lady roles were played by young boys. when the globe theater burnt down it was rebuilt in the exact same spot !!!!!!!!
