Shakespeare and the theater
William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He married at age 18 and had three children, though one son died at a young age. Shakespeare began writing and acting in London in the 1580s. He wrote 154 sonnets and over 30 plays, becoming a principal owner of the Globe Theater. The Globe Theater burned down in 1613 but was rebuilt the following year. Shakespeare retired to Stratford in 1611 and died there in 1616 at age 52. Elizabethan theaters flourished under Queen Elizabeth I and plays were performed in theaters outside of London.

Tragedies by playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides dealt with profound themes and featured a protagonist who commits an error and faces destruction. Comedies by Aristophanes mocked those in power, while later comedies by Menander focused on ordinary people. Satyr plays made light of tragic characters while featuring actors in goat-like costumes.
