William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor. \u00a0His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.<\/p>\n
Shakespeare was baptised on April 26, 1564 and died on April 23, 1616. \u00a0While his exact date of birth is unknown, historians believe it to be April 23, 1564.<\/p>\n
At the age of 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. \u00a0They had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, Shakespeare began a career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a theatrical company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. \u00a0The company later changed its name to the King’s Men.<\/p>\n
It’s believed that in 1613 Shakespeare retired to Stratford. \u00a0He died there three years later.<\/p>\n
There are few records of Shakespeare’s private life. \u00a0That’s lead to much speculation about his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs and\u00a0the authenticity of works attributed to him.<\/p>\n
