William Shakespeare
(1561t-1616) is probably the
greatest dramatist and poet
O 2 nea¿ and listen to the story of Hamlet. What kind of story is it?
in the English language.
He grew up in Stratford-
upon-Avon and married
Anne Hathaway when he
was eighteen. They had
three children.
In his early twenties, he
began to work in the theatre
in London.In the 1590s,
he star[ed writing plays for
a theatre company and
probably acted as well. They
performed at the Globe
Theatre in London and also
went on tour.
Shakespeare's plays were
first published in1623, seven
years after his death, and so
we do not know the exact
dates of each play. His early
plays include Richard III and
Romeo and Julíet; among his
famous comedies are A
Midsummer Night's Dre am
alad TWelfth Night; and his
great tragedies include King
Lear, Macbeth and, of course,
Hamlet.
