William Shakespeare from the Drocshout painting

now in the Shakespeare Memorial Gallery at Stratford-on-Avon.

This Elizabethan time portrait is believed to be the only

one of W. Shakespeare when the poet was alive. 1610.

What did William Shakespeare really look like?

The head is out of all proportion with the body. There is a peculiar line running from the ear down to the chin. Does this signify that the face is in fact a mask?

The Chandos portrait of Shakespeare is named after its owners, the Dukes of Chandos. The Chandos portrait was no doubt painted when Shakespeare was alive, unlike the posthumous painting, the Droeshout. Some critics argue that the painting cannot be of Shakespeare. In 1856 it became the property of Britain's National Portrait Gallery.

What is the real date of his birthday?

Why couldn't his children read or write?

William’s first child, Susanna was baptized in May, 1583. His twins Hamnet and Judith were born in February 1592. Hamnet, William's only son died in 1596, just eleven years old. Hamnet and Judith were named after William’s close friends, Judith and Hamnet Sadler. William's family was unusually small in a time when families had many children.

William Shakespeare (18 years old) married Anne Hathaway when she was 26 years old. At the time he married her she was already several months pregnant.

In his will he left only "the second best bed" to his wife.

The Globe, built by carpenter Peter Smith and his workers, was the most magnificent theatre that London had ever seen and built in 1597 -1598.

THE BEAR GARDEN AND HOPE THEATRE

The first proper theatre was called the Theatre, built at Shoreditch, London in 1576 and the owner was James

Burbage. After the Theatre, further

open air playhouses (theaters)

opened in the London area,

ncluding the Rose Theatre (1587),

and the Hope Theatre (1613). The

most famous Elizabethan

playhouse ( theater ) was the Globe

Theatre (1599). SWAN THEATRE Young men played the women’s roles.

the leading alternative candidate for the author

behind the alleged pseudonym,

Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke is a recent claimant for the author for Shakespeare's works

The Shakespeare authorship question is the ongoing debate, first recorded in the early 18th

century, about whether the works attributed to William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon were actually written by another writer,

or a group of writers. Among the numerous candidates that

have been proposed, major claimants include Francis

Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley (6th Earl of Derby), and Edward de Vere (17th Earl of Oxford), who,

since first being proposed in the 1920s, remains the most prevalent alternate authorship

candidate.

How did Shakespeare die?

Translated this reads as:

Good friend, for Jesus’ sake, forbearTo dig the dust enclosed here;Blessed be the man that spares these stonesAnd cursed be he that moves my bones.

« Друг, ради Господа,не рой останков,

взятых сей землей. Не тронувший –

блажен в веках и проклят - тронувший мой прах».

People are constantly curious to know what is written on Shakespeare’s gravestone, and they are always surprised to learn it is a curse (проклятие).

Shakespeare himself supposedly wrote it.

William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was

as the greatest writer in the English language and the

world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet

and the «Bard of Avon», «Sweet Swan of Avon». His surviving works,

including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other
