William Shakespeare His works consist of

about 38 plays,154 sonnets, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

The Birthplace John Shakespeare

came to Stratford and set up business as a glove-maker. He probably bought this building in Henley Street in 1575, all of his eight children were born here between 1558 and 1580.

Holy Trinity Church Holy Trinity

Church, Stratford-upon-Avon where William Shakespeare was baptised after his birth on 23 April 1564.

Early Childhood The room in which

Shakespeare is believed to have been born. Four-poster beds were curtained for warmth, the rocking cradle is authentic.

EducationEducation William

attended the grammar school, where he could have learned grammar, logic and rhetoric as well as Latin. The school is not greatly changed since that time.

A Wedding In 1582, at the

age of 18, William married Anne Hathaway, the farmer’s daughter. Apart from the age difference, there were nothing very special about that.

Seeking Fortune in London Stratford was visited by wandering troupes

of actors. It is highly possible that William Shakespeare joined one of these companies as they took their route towards London.

Seeking Fortune in London A number of

Shakespeare’s plays were written for private performance, rather than public staging.

Banquet scene of around 1596 shows players performing a masque in front of the seated company.

Actor - PlaywrightShakespeare drew the themes for many of his

plays from stories which were already in general circulation. Here Macbeth meets the

three witches, in a print illustrating Chronicles published in 1577.

Actor - Playwright This portrait is said

to be of Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare’s greatest rival. His early death, at the age of 29, left Shakespeare without a peer as poet and dramatist.

The Elizabethan Theatre

Archaeologists have been able to tell us a good deal about the theatre of the 16th century. Plays were staged in the open air.

The Globe Theatre Only one picture

of the first Globe survives made by John Norden in 1600 as a part of a bird-eye view of London.

The Globe Theatre The Globe

Theatre was built on the south bank of the Thames in 1599. One of the first plays was Shakespeare’s JULIUS CAESAR.

Last years These beautiful

gardens cover the site, where Shakespeare spent his

last years. The house was demolished by an

18th-century owner who was annoyed by tourists.

Last Years He died on 23

April 1616 and was buried in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. The first collected edition of his works was published in 1623 and is known as 'the First Folio'.

The site of the old Globe theatre was rediscovered in the 20th century and a reconstruction of a New

Globe Theatre has been built near the spot.
