William was born on April 23, 1564, in a bustling market town called Stratford

Shakespeare ended up being the eldest child of his father John Shakespeare and his mother Mary Arden

Shakespeare's father had been a glove maker and overtime he was able to become an important figure in his town, which allowed his son to go to a grammar school

At eighteen he got married to his wife Anne Hathaway, and together they had 3 kids ( Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith)

He died in 1616 April 23 on his 52nd birthday

The ¨ Lost Years¨ of Shakespeare´s life started in 1585 between the baptism of his twin sons

During this time he decided to leave his hometown and head to London

Many myths developed over time during William´s ¨ Lost Years¨

One of the myths from this time was that Shakespeare had been in contact with a local landowner from his hometown, and he poached one of the landowner's deers, so he might have gone to London to escape punishment

However, during his time in London, he was able to establish his playwright to produce his plays

Once Queen Elizabeth began to rule England the population improved and the educational levels started to rise quickly

While the Queen ruled social class and profession was placed below the monarch in a linear order

Queen Elizabeth had a love for the arts, music, and theater, so many artists created pieces to honor her

The Elizabethan age also held a lot of English exploration which led to the arrival of African Americans who became slaves

The Globe Theater was one of the first permanent theaters built in London

Since the Queen was an admirer of plays and performances she liked to sponsor the playwrights

Any plays that were based on politics, public minds, religion, and unlicenced were banned by Queen Elizabeth, so writers had to find other themes

Queen Elizabeth influenced other towns to follow her fashion and acquired theaters which led to men and women coming in expecting to see these plays

Once the Globe Theater opened for business in 1599 traveling actors could own a more financial base, and more plays could be produced
