WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
William Shakespeare was a poet and a playwright and is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the
English language. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, in central England, in 1564 and he died in 1616.
His surviving work consists of 38 plays, 154 sonnets and some other poems. He is best known for his
plays, which have been translated into every major language and are performed more than those of any
other playwright in the world.
When William Shakespeare was 18 years old he married Anne Hathaway, and they had three children.
Shakespeare went to London to work as an actor and a writer. In 1599, the Globe Theatre was built in
London and it was in this theatre, situated on the banks of the River Thames, that some of
Shakespeare’s plays were first performed. In 1613, a fire destroyed the theatre. However, a modern
reconstruction of the theatre was built near the original site in 1997 so even today you can go to the
Globe Theatre to see one of Shakespeare's plays.
Shakespeare’s work is still very popular today. But why do we like these old plays? Perhaps it is because
they all contain fantastic stories. His characters suffer bloody battles, deaths by poison, huge family
fights, problems between brothers and sisters, problems between parents and children ... The plays are
also full of parties, weddings and funerals. They are quite simply action-packed.
