#1

The birthday of W. Shakespeare

Imagine please, it's April 23, 1564, Stratford-on-Avon, in the middle of England. The family of John and Mary Shakespeare lives here. They had eight children, four girls and four boys, but their two eldest daughters died at early age. The third child that was born to them was a son. He was named William.

# 2

Parents of W. Shakespeare

The poet's father was engaged in the wool industry. Some documents of the time indicate that John Shakespeare was illiterate, he marked his name with a cross because he was unable to write it. Mary Shakespeare was a woman of a lively dis­position. She liked music, old English and Scottish songs. Here William spent his childhood listening to his mother's songs.

 # 3

William's Education

William was a boy of free and open na­ture, much like his mother. He was a bright pupil at school at Stratford.  At this school William learned to read and write and was taught his first Latin. He was still a boy when he began to produce plays. Though he had to work hard in his father's business, nothing would make him give up his hobby. On leaving school Shakespeare began to learn foreign languages.

# 4

Marriage of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway

But William's days of youthful study ended ear­ly as at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hatha­way. The bride was eight years older than her hus­band. Before Shakespeare was twenty-one, he was the father of three children, a daughter — Susanna and the twins — a son, Hamlet and a daughter Ju­dith. Life in Startford was difficult for him — there was no money to earn. He decided to go to London. At this time his first poems appeared.

# 5

Sonnets of W. Shakespeare

Shakespeare began to write sonnets in 1590. During this time there was a sonnet vogue in Eng­land. He was quick to follow this popular trend. His 154 sonnets were published in 1609.

# 6

Theatre company "The Lord Chamberlai's men"

In London Shakespeare joined one of the city theatre companies and in 1594 he was able to pur­chase a share in the Lord Chamberlain's Men which was one of the most popular acting companies in London. By 1594 at least six of his plays had been produced and staged. His Fame and good fortune grew rapidly.

# 7

Theatre life

From 1594 to 1608 Shakespeare was fully in­volved in London theatre life. He wrote in average two plays a year.

In 1596 a great sorrow fell upon the poet: his only son Hamlet died at the age of eleven. By the late 1590s Shakespeare had not only become an es­tablished writer but he also become a prosperous citi­zen. He purchased New Place, one of the two largest houses in Stratford. He was a good son as a truth­ful and generous friend. He helped his parents very much. His visits to Stratford were periods of rest and recreation, probably also of quiet literary labour.

# 8

Shakespeare's Grave

 Shakespeare died in 1616  in his native town. There is bust of Shakespeare that was carved by a Dutch sculptor who lived near Shakespeare's Grave theatre and who must have seen William many times. His tomb is in the Stratford church .
