Let’s hear a tale about PURSUING YOUR DREAM together.
William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-uponAvon, England. His father, John, was a glove maker. His mother, Mary, was a farmer’s daughter. He had two older
sisters, two younger sisters, and three younger brothers.
William probably studied Latin, Greek, and history, and left school when he was 14 or 15. Three years later he married Anne Hathaway. They had a daughter called Susanna and twins named Judith and Hamnet. Sometime before 1590 he left Stratford and went to London, the capital city of England.

London’s first theatre opened in 1576. Shakespeare worked in London as an actor and then started writing plays too. In 1593 the plague, a terrible disease, killed thousands of people, and theatres were closed. During this time William started to write poems instead of plays. His short poems are called sonnets.
Shakespeare helped build a new theatre called The Globe. It opened in 1599. It was round and had space for 3,000 people. At The Globe, some people stood in front of the stage and others had seats. The audience shouted, clapped, booed, and laughed while they watched the plays. Musicians created special noises to make the plays more exciting and they had a cannon to make big bangs! No women acted in Shakespeare’s time: men and boys played all the parts.
