William Shakespeare is the greatest English writer and playwright of all times. His plays are known around the world. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and he died in 1616. His work consists in 38 plays, 154 sonnets(a type of poem) and many other poems. He married Anne Hataway when he was only 18 years old, with her he had 3 children. In his youth he went to London to work as an actor and a writer. In 1599 the Globe Theatre was built in London, situated next to the River Thames, where Shakespeare was first perfomed, but in 1613 this theathre was destroyed by a fire. Shakespeare wrote comedies, dramas and tragedies. Even though Shakespeare died many centuries ago, his plays are still very popular nowadays, because they contain many fantastic elements. His most popular plays are: Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, As you like it, Herny V or Romeo and Juliet.
Which play would you like to see?
The play of Shakespeare I want to go and see, always has been Hamlet because I've seen a funny parody of it on TV in the Simpson's Show and I want to see the real version.
