New Schoel. At 18 he married 26 year old Anne. They had a daughter named Susanna, and a set of
twins named Hamnet and Judith. Shakespeare was part of the Lord Chamberbin's Men, a leading
acting troupe in London at the time. From 1594, they were the only company that performed his
plays. He was a playwright and an actor in his own plays. In 1599, the company built their own
theatre by the Thames river - and called it the Globe. He wrote poetry, comedies, tragedies and
historical plays. The themes of his plays were usually love, power and friendship. He wrote
tragedies like Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo and Juliet. But he dealt with history too: he got
inspiration from historical events and wrote Henry V, Julius Caesar, King Lear. He created very
redistic characters: his comedies, tragedies and plays are in fact still performed today.
William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616, and was buried two days later in the chancel of Holy
Trinity Church where he had been baptized exactly 52 years earlier.
