William Shakespeare William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-on-Avon, England, in 1564. He received his education in the Grammar school. At the age of nineteen he married the daughter of a neighboring farmer.But three years later Shakespeare went up to London, because it was the best place for the development of his genius. It was a time of the Revival of learning, when plays of all sorts were written, in response to the varying popular demands.Shakespeare became an actor of "The Globe" - the most popular theatre in London. The theatres at that time were situated outside the city walls, and the performances took place by daylight. There was no scenery to the plays. Shakespeare began helping dramatists in the writing of new plays.Soon he began writing his own plays. "Romeo and Juliet", "King Lear", "Hamlet" and many others brought him glory and fame. William wrote thirty-seven plays, many of which are still performed in countries all over the world. He wrote 154 beautiful poems called sonnets. He wrote the sonnets for his friends, but soon everyone wanted to read them. William got the ideas for his plays from old stories, poems, and real events. His plays made audience laugh, and cry, and gasp in horrow. In 1616 William wrote his will. At the height at his fame William returned to Stratford-on-Avon and lived there in his own house until his death in 1616. He left most of his land and property to his family. He also left money to the poor people of Stratford. But his greatest treasure, his writing, was left for the whole world to enjoy. He died at the age of 49. We don't know a lot of facts of the writer's life. That is why there are many legends about him.

The best thing of all in William’s life were groups of actors who visited Stratford from time to time. He watched them and knew that he wanted to be an actor. But the actors didn’t have their own theatre, that’s why they built a theatre and called it “Globe”. There was a sign on it’s main door: “All the world is a stage”. Shakespeare’s Globe was rather different from modern theatres. In 1613 the Globe burnt down.

In 1949 an American actor Sam Wanamaker decided to rebuilt the Globe. It took many years to raise money, get permission and find out exactly what the place looked out like in the old days. On June 12 1997, Her Majesty the Queen opened the International Shakespeare Globe Center. Unfortunately, Sam Wanamaker died in 1993 and wasn’t in the audience to see his dream finally come true. This new theatre is as close to the original as it is possible to be.
