Who was he…?: 

Who was he…? William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616)[a] was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, 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.

Shakespeare's family tree William had a son a two daughters William Shakespeare Anne Hathaway Susanna Shakespeare Hamnet Shakespeare Judith Shakespeare

THE CHILDREN OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE & ANNE HATHAWAY : 

THE CHILDREN OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE & ANNE HATHAWAY Just six months after their marriage Anne and William became the parents of their first daughter - Susanna Shakespeare The baptism of Susanna Shakespeare was conducted on May 26, in Stratford Parish Church Anne and William's twins, Hamnet and Judith, were born two years after Susanna  Hamnet and Judith Shakespeare were baptised on February 2nd 1585 Anne was 28 years old and William 21 years old

SUSANNA SHAKESPEARE : 

SUSANNA SHAKESPEARE Susanna was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon She was illiterate so she would not have attended school or received an education which customary for most girls in the Elizabethan era The first we hear of Susanna is on May 5th 1606 when Susanna was named as a recusant for not attending an Easter Day Church service Susanna Shakespeare was 24 years old when she announced her betrothal to Dr. John Hall who also lived in Stratford-upon-Avon Susanna and John Hall were married on June 5th 1607 It was a good marriage - William shared some business ventures with Dr. Hall Susanna gave birth to a baby girl eight months after her wedding to Dr. John Hall Shakespeare's granddaughter, Elizabeth, was baptized on February 21st 1608 at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon Shakespeare appointed John and Susanna executors of his will Dr. Hall and Susanna inherited and moved into New Place after Shakespeare's death

HAMNET SHAKESPEARE : 

HAMNET SHAKESPEARE Hamnet Shakespeare, twin to Judith, was raised in in his grandfather's house in Stratford-upon-Avon Little is known about the life of Hamnet There are no records that show that Hamnet Shakespeare attended a school but it would have been customary for a boy of Hamnet's background to have received an education Hamnet sadly died at the age of just 11 years old. There were constant outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague, during Elizabethan times and in 1596 Hamnet caught and died of the deadly disease Hamnet Shakespeare was buried in Stratford on August 11th 1596

JUDITH SHAKESPEARE : 

JUDITH SHAKESPEARE Like her sister, Susanna, Judith was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon Judith was also illiterate The first we hear of Judith is when she is betrothed to Thomas Quiney, a vintner and tavern owner from Stratford-upon-Avon William would have initially approved of the betrothal as Quiney came from a good family Judith married Thomas Quiney on February 10th 1616. Judith was 31 years old and Thomas Quiney was 27 years of age William Shakespeare's initial approval of the marriage would have quickly changed when he discovered  the scandalous news that Thomas Quiney had made another girl pregnant, nether-the-less the marriage went ahead But there were more problems! A special licence necessary for all weddings during Lent - Quiney did not get one! The situation was so serious that on March 12th Judith and Thomas were excommunicated! On March 26th Thomas Quiney was prosecuted for 'carnal copulation' with a woman called Margaret Wheeler. ( She had died in childbirth along with her baby by Quiney) Thomas Quiney admitted his guilt and was sentenced to perform public penance. This penalty was , however, lessened to a small fine of five shillings and private penance William modified his Will on March 25th 1616 to ensure that Judith would inherit a sum of money (£300) in her own name. Quiney was left out of the Will and Shakespeare left the bulk of his fortune to Susanna!

William’s career in London: 

William’s career in London William Shakespeare moved to London and left Anne and the children living with the Shakespeare family in Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of the playing company the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. after only three years of marriage Shakespeare left his family and moved to London, possibly because he felt trapped by Hathaway

Shakespeare’s private life: 

Shakespeare’s private life Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.

Shakespeare’s religious beliefs: 

Shakespeare’s religious beliefs Over the years, there have been a number of speculations about the religious beliefs of William Shakespeare. While little direct evidence exists, circumstantial evidence suggests that Shakespeare's family had Catholic sympathies and that he himself was Catholic, though there is disagreement over whether he in fact was.

Shakespeare’s sexuality : 

Shakespeare’s sexuality he sexuality of William Shakespeare has been debated numerous times over the years. Even though he married Anne Hathaway and had three children, circumstantial evidence suggests he had affairs with other women or may have taken an erotic interest in men.

The Lord Chamberlain's Men : 

The Lord Chamberlain's Men was the playing company that William Shakespeare worked for as actor and playwright for most of his career. Formed at the end of a period of flux in the theatrical world of London, it had become, by 1603, one of the two leading companies of the city and was subsequently patronized by James I.

Playing company…: 

Playing company… The major companies were based at specific theatres in London; the most successful of them, William Shakespeare's company the King's Men, had the open-air Globe Theatre for summer seasons and the enclosed Blackfriars Theatre in the winters. The Admiral's Men occupied the Rose Theatre in the 1590s, and the Fortune Theatre in the early 17th century. Theatre companies Admiral's Men Chamberlain's Men Children of Paul's Children of the Chapel Children of the Queen's Revels Earl of Leicester's Men King's Men Lord Strange's Men Queen Anne's Men

Lord Chamberlain's Men : 

Lord Chamberlain's Men was founded during the reign of Elizabeth I of England in 1594, under the patronage of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon, the then Lord Chamberlain, who was in charge of court entertainments. After its patron's death on July 23, 1596, the company came under the patronage of his son, George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon, for whom it was briefly known as Lord Hunsdon's Men until he in turn became Lord Chamberlain on March 17, 1597, whereupon it reverted to its previous name. The company became the King's Men in 1603 when King James ascended the throne and became the company's patron.

The Globe Theatre: 

The Globe Theatre From 1594, the company performed at The Theatre, in Shoreditch. Problems with the landlord caused the company to move to the nearby Curtain Theatre in 1597. On the night of 28 December 1598 The Theatre was dismantled by the Burbage brothers, William Smith (their financial backer) and carpenter Peter Street, with 10-12 workmen. The beams were then carried south of the river to form parts of their new playhouse, the Globe Theatre in Southwark. Built in 1599, this theatre was destroyed in a fire on June 29, 1613. The Globe was rebuilt by June 1614 and finally closed in 1642. A modern reconstruction of the original Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre" or the "New Globe Theatre," opened in 1997. It is approximately 205 metres (673 ft) from the site of the original theatre off Park Street.

The Admiral's Men : 

The Admiral's Men also called the Admiral's company, more strictly, the Earl of Nottingham's Men; after 1603, Prince Henry's Men; after 1612, the Elector Palatine's Men or the Palsgrave's Men) was a theatre company in the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, generally considered the second most important acting troupe of English Renaissance theatre (after the company of Shakespeare, the Lord Chamberlain's or King's Men)

English Renaissance theatre :

Macbeth: 

Macbeth Macbeth / thunder and lightning. Enter 3 witches/ 1st Witch – When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning or in rain? 2nd Witch - When the hurlyburly’s done , when the battle’s lost and done. 3rd Witch – That will be ere the set of sun. 1st Witch – Where the place? 2nd Witch - Upon the heath 3rd Witch – There to meet with Macbeth 1st Witch – I come, Graymalkin. All – Paddock calls- Anon ! Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air. 1st Witch – All Hail Macbeth ! Hail to thee thane of Glamis 2nd Witch - All Hail Macbeth ! Hail to thee thane of Cawdor 3rd Witch- All Hail Macbeth !That shalt be king hereafter.

Lady Macbeth: 

Lady Macbeth Out, damned spot! Out, I say! One, two: why then this time to do it.- Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie; a soldier and afeard ? What need we fear who knows it when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him. The thane of Fife had a wife- where is she now? What, will these hands never be clean- No more, o that my lord, no more o’ that:- you mar all with this starting. Here’s the smell of the blood still all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand, oh, oh, oh. Wash your hands, put on your nightgown; look not so pale- I tell you yet again. To be, to bed; there’s knocking at the gate . Come, come, come, come, give me your hand. What’s done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed. /exit/

The queen, my lord, is dead …: 

The queen, my lord, is dead … She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace form day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more : it’s a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing

First Folio: 

First Folio In 1623, John Heminges and Henry Condell, two of Shakespeare's friends from the King's Men, published the First Folio, a collected edition of Shakespeare's plays. It contained 36 texts, including 18 printed for the first time.[107] Many of the plays had already appeared in quarto versions—flimsy books made from sheets of paper folded twice to make four leaves.[108] No evidence suggests that Shakespeare approved these editions, which the First Folio describes as "stol'n and surreptitious copies".[10

Poems: 

Poems In 1593 and 1594, when the theatres were closed because of plague, Shakespeare published two narrative poems on erotic themes, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. He dedicated them to Henry Wriothesley, earl of Southampton. In Venus and Adonis, an innocent Adonis rejects the sexual advances of Venus; while in The Rape of Lucrece, the virtuous wife Lucrece is raped by the lustful Tarquin.[113] Influenced by Ovid's Metamorphoses,[114] the poems show the guilt and moral confusion that result from uncontrolled lust.

Sonnets: 

Sonnets Published in 1609, the Sonnets were the last of Shakespeare's non-dramatic works to be printed. Scholars are not certain when each of the 154 sonnets was composed, but evidence suggests that Shakespeare wrote sonnets throughout his career for a private readership.
