His name is William Shakespeare. People say he is the world's greatest poet and dramatist. He was born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His mother, Mary Arden, was a daughter of Robert Arden, a farmer. His father, John Shakespeare, was a glover who had an office at Stratford-upon-Avon.

He got his education at the Grammar School. He got married in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and had three children, a daughter and two sons.

They lived in Stratford. At that time actors and actresses visited Stratford-on-Avon. He liked to watch them. He was fond of their profession and decided to become an actor. Then he went to London. There he became an actor and began to write plays too. He worked in the modern theatre “Globe”. 14 years later he became a part owner of the Globe theatre in London.

The public theatres for which he wrote his plays were quite different from those of today. They were built of wood. The stage projected far out into the pit where the spectators stood, so they were very close to the players' feet. Round the pit there were tiers of galleries, one over the other. The galleries were roofed, while the pit was open to the sky.

Since the pit of the theatre was open to the sky, the performance depended entirely upon the weather. Flags were raised when a play was to be given, but if the weather suddenly changed for the worse, the flags were pulled down and the performance did not take place.

Actresses were unknown on the stage, and all women's parts were played by boys or young men.

He wrote 37 plays altogether. Among his plays there are historical dramas, comedies, great tragedies, romantic dreams. He’s  also known as the author of 2 long poems and 154 sonnets.
