William Shakespeare
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, a small town
in England, in 1564. He went to school there, but he didn’t go
to university, because university was expensive in those days.
Shakespeare got married when he was only eighteen. About
ten years later, he travelled to London: he wanted to be an
actor, and all the important theatres were in London. His wife
and children stayed in Stratford, but he sometimes visited
them. Stratford was 150 kilometres from London, and the
journey took two days.
Shakespeare soon became interested in writing. When he was
about thirty, he wrote Romeo and Juliet. Everybody loved it!
Many of his plays were very popular. He made a lot of money,
and he bought a big house in Stratford for his family.
When he was about fifty, Shakespeare came back to Stratford
to live with his family. He died a few years later.
