William Shakespeare was a playwrighter born in the late fifteen hundreds into a loving family. He was the first of eight children in John and Mary's life but was treated the same as the other 7 siblings. Many believe he attended Statford's grammer school whilst he developed his acting career, the next registered event in Williams life was his marriage to Anne Hathaway. They had 3 children together. He was not first known for his litrature he was first recognised for his poetry but in 1594 he slowly edged towards playwriting which made him a well known citizen. He produced about two plays a year with sky high veiwings. He lived a wealthy life but it came to an unfortunate death in the early sixteen hunderds- on his birthday- how unlucky? In his will he gave his wife his second best bed... this means he was cheating the whole time!
The globe theatre was one of the first theatres built in the tudor period; the exact date was 1599. Unfortunately it was destroyed only 14 years later by a deadly fire. Although this tragic event did occur William made it so famous they decided to rebuild it in 1997. It is still used to this day showing many of Shakespeares well known plays, it is situated on the bank of the river Thames, London.
