William Shakespeare.

 William Shakespeare was born at Stratford upon Aron in April, 1564. He was the third child, and eldest son, of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden. His father was one of the most prosperous man of Stratford, who held in turn the chief offices in the town. His mother was of a gentle birth, the daughter of Robert Arden of Wilmocote. In December 1582, he married Ann Hathaway, daughter of a farmer of Shottery. Their first child Susanna was baptized on May 6, 1583, and twins Hamnet and Judith on February 22, 1585.
   Not much is known of Shakespeare's childhood; but its likely that a writer who dramatized such an incomparable range and variety of human  kinds and experience should have spent his early  manhood entirely in placed pursuits in a country town. The name of the theater was called Globe theatre.
    In 1592 Robert Greene, the best known of the professional writers, as he was dying wrote a letter to three fellow writes in which he warned them against the ingratitude of players i n general, and in particular against '' up start crowl'' who ''supposes he is as much able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you'': This is the first reference to Shakespeare, and the whole passage suggest that he had become suddenly famous as a play wright. At that time Shakespeare was brought into touch with Edward Alleyne the great tragedian, and Christopher Marlowe, whose thundering part of Tamburlaine, and Dr. Faustus Alleyne was acting, as well as Hieronimo, the hero of Kyd's spanish  tragedy, the most famous of all Elizabethan plays.
     By the summer of 1598, Shakespeare was recognized as the greatest of English Dramatists. Booksellers were printing his more popular plays, at times even in piraled or stolen version, and he received a remarkable tribute from a young writer named Francis Meres. In a long eatalogue of English authors Meres gave Shakespeare more prominence  them any other write and mentioned by name twelve  of his plus. His son Hamnet died in 1596, Shakespeare died at stratford upon Avon on April 23, 1616 and was burried in the Chancel of the church, before the high altar. Shortly afterward a memorial which still exists, with a portrait bust, was set up on the North Wall. His wife survived him.

 THE ELIZABETHAN THEATRE

Accordingly in 1576 Shakespeare built the theatre in Shoreditch, at that time a surburb of London. The experience was successful, and by 1592 there were two more playhouse in London.
Elizabethan players were accustomed to act on a variety of stages; in the great hall of a nobleman's house, or one of Queen's palaces in town hall and in yard, as well as their own theatre. The public playhouse for which most of Shakespeare's plays were written was a small intimate affair. The outside measurement of the fortune Theatre, which was built in 1600 was but 80 feet square.
