01. Life
William Shakespeare is considered one of the most famous writer in the worldHe was born in Stratforc upon-Avon on 23 April 1564 and probably died the same day of the birth in 1616.
His father was a glover and his mother came from an important local family. William Shakespeare probably attended Stratford's grammar school, where he studied Latin and Greek. When I was eighteen he married Anne Hathaway, a girl eight years older than him, and in a few years they had three children.
02. Professional life
Nothing is known about how he began his career. While London soon became the centre of professional life, his family continued to live in Stratford. In 1592 he was already a well-known playwright. When the spread of plague closed London theatres (1592-1594), Shakespeare started to write his famous sonnets. His patron and friend was the Earl of Southampton. After the plague, Shakespeare became a member of the syndicate which built the Globe. As a poet he wrote a collection of 154 Sonnets and two long poems, as a playwright he wrote 37 plays, which were popular with both educated and common audiences. Only half of Shakespeare's plays appeared in print in his lifetime, some in texts transcribed by the actors known as bad quartos, because of their textual inaccuracies.
03. The sonnets
William Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets probably in the 1590s, when theatres were closed as an outbreak of the plague prevented playwriters from staging their works. They were published in 1609 in a volume with a cryptic dedication to a mysterious "Master W.H." - to whom the poet wished happiness and promised eternity through his sonnets. The collection as a whole does not follow the then fashionable conventions of sonnet sequences, it is not intended to recounter a love story.
03. The first Globe theatre
The story of the Globe Theatre starts with William Shakespeare's acting company The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Shakespeare was a part-owner, or sharer, in the company, as well as an actor and the resident playwright. From its inception in 1594, the Lord Chamberlain's Men performed at The Theatre, a playhouse located in Shoreditch. However, by 1598 their patrons, including the Earl of Southampton, had fallen out of favour with the Queen. The Theatre's landlord, Giles Alleyn, had intentions to cancel the company's lease and tear the building down.
03.The Globe theatre's disaster
During the fateful performance of Henry VIII on 29 June 1613, the cannon announcing the unexpected arrival of the king at the end of Act 1 set fire to the thatched roof, and within an hour the Globe burned to the ground. Everyone escaped safely, save for one man whose breeches reportedly caught fire. Two different songs had been written about it by the next day.
The Globe was rebuilt by February 1614.
Disaster struck again in the 1642 when parliament ordered the closure of London theatres. In 1644-5 the Globe was destroyed and the land sold for building.
02. Shakespeare's Globe today
In 1970, an American actor and director Samuel Wanamaker set up the Shakespeare's Globe Trust to pursue his dream of reconstructing the original Globe Theatre. For what would be almost the next 30 years, he and his team worked and fought to obtain the permissions, funds, and research necessary for a project of this scope. Everyone worked together in their efforts to build the Globe in the same way the Lord Chamberlain's Men did. Theatre opened in 1997, one street away from where the original stood. The Globe stands today as a living monument to Shakespeare.
08. Measure for measure
Measure for Measure is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603 or 1604 and first performed in 1604,
The Duke leaves Angelo in charge of Vienna, where he quickly condemns Claudio to death for immoral behaviour. Angelo offers to pardon Claudio if his sister, Isabella, sleeps with him. Isabella agrees but has Angelo's fiance switch places with her. The Duke returns to spare Claudio, punish Angelo, and propose to Isabella.
It was printed as a comedy in the First Folio and continues to be classified as one. Though it shares features with other Shakespearean comedies, such as the use of word play and irony, and the employment of disguise and substitution as plot devices, it also features tragic elements such as executions and soliloquies.

Anne Hathaway
.
Anne’s father was a yeoman farmer, and consequently a well-respected member of the Shottery community. Upon his death he left Anne, who was also known as Agnes, a small sum of money with which she could marry. The house was then purchased by Anne’s brother, Bartholomew, who also acquired the freehold on the farm.
Henry Wriothesley
Henry Wriothesley (1573–1624), third earl of Southampton, is best remembered today as a patron of William Shakespeare. In his youth, several other Elizabethan poets enjoyed his support and he was a significant figure in the cultural life of late sixteenth-century England.
Cuthbert and Richard Burbage led the rest of the company of actors, sharers, and volunteers ,working together, built the new theatre as quickly as they could.
By May 1599, the new theatre was ready to be opened. Burbage named it the Globe after the figure of Hercules carrying the globe on his back .
