William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on April 23, 1564. He went to grammar school in Stratford and learned Latin, which was a requirement for a professional career. In 1582, William Shakespeare married Anne Hathway and had his first born, Susanna, with Anne. ===

The years 1585 to 1592 were known as his "lost years". By 1592, Shakespeare was a playwright in London and by 1594 he was an actor. During these years he wrote plays such as //Henry VI Parts I-III//, //Richard III//, and the [|Comedy of Errors], which were some of his most famous plays. He did not write his two most notable plays, //The Tragedy of Romeo// <span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)">//and Juliet// and [|Hamlet] until 1594 and 1600 respectively. <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)">     <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(14,21,221)">       <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(14,21,221)">       <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(19,81,221)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(14,21,221)">       <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(19,81,221)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(14,21,221)">       <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(19,81,221)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(14,21,221)">       <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(19,81,221)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(14,21,221)">         === === <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(19,81,221)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(14,21,221)">Later years and death:       <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(221,19,28)">      <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,77,199)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(221,19,28)">Shakespeare stopped writing plays after 1613. Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 at the age of 52. In his will Shakespeare left most of his money and possestions to his oldest daughter, Susanna, who had to give it to her first son. The only thing that Shakespeare left for his wife, Anne, was his second best bed. Shakespeare was buried in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church. On his [|gravestone] was a message that said, "Good friend for Jesus sake forbear to dig the dust enclosed here! Blest be the man that spares these stones, and curst be he that moves my bones." This incription is a warning to people that if you mess with the grave you will be cursed.

The original [|Globe Theater]was built in 1599 in London, England by Shakespeare's acting group, Lord Chamberlin's Men. In 1613 The Globe suffered its first fire durind a preformance of //Henry the VIII// due to a cannon misfiring. The fire lighted the wooden beams and caused the globe to burn to the ground but was later rebuilt in the exact location. The Globe had to be moved from London in 1642 and it was rebuilt in Southwark. It was later destroyed in 1644 to make room for tenaments and by then Shakespeare gave up on it and went back to Stratford. <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,41)">  <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,41)">   <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(99,92,230)">     <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(41,31,234)">       === === <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(41,31,234)">This is our slideshow:     <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(99,92,230)">media type="custom" key="661937"     <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(99,92,230)">     <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(99,92,230)">     <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(99,92,230)">Pictures by:     <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(242,80,203); TEXT-ALIGN: left"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(243,18,79)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(66,181,44)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(99,92,230)">       === SAVED CITATIONS Google: William Shakespeare: __ http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Hw-shakespeare.jpg __ Google: Shakespeare’s house: __ http://www.thegatherer.co.uk/html/Shakespears_House_Stratford-Upon-Avon.html __ Google: The Globe: __ http://www.planetware.com/picture/london-shakespeares-globe-theatre-exhibition-eng-gblnglob.htm __ Google: The Comedy of Errors __ http:// [|www.fpdtheatre.org/errorscast.html]  __ Google: Hamlet __ http:// [|updatecenter.britannica.com/art?assemblyId=91...]  __ Google: King Lear __ http://  [|www.pbs.org/shakespeare/works/work186.html]   __ Google: Mask __ http:// [|teens.mhl.org/2007/10/join-mhls-teen-theatre-...]  __ Google: Midsummer Night’s Dream __ http:// [|www.rhs.org.uk/.../wisley/wisleyshakespeare.asp]  __ Google: Romeo & Juliet __ http://  [|cmcweb.lr.k12.nj.us/webquest/moran/rj.htm]    __
