William Shakespeare, the world’s greatest playwright, was born in April, 1564. He grew up in Stratford−upon−Avon in central England and attended Stratford Grammar School.
In 1582, when Shakespeare was 18 years old, he married a woman named Anne Hathaway and the couple had three children. A few years after his marriage, Shakespeare moved to London where he worked as both a playwright and an actor. In 1593, he joined ‘The Lord Chamberlain’s Men’, one of England’s most famous acting companies.
Shakespeare stayed with this group, acting and writing, until 1599. It was in this year that the theatre where the group performed burnt down. He continued to act in another theatre called ‘The Globe’ until 1613, when he chose to retire. Shakespeare went on writing plays up until his death in 1616.
