William Shakespeare and Globe theatre.

William Shakespeare was born at Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564. He was the third child, and the eldest son, of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden. His father was one of the most prosperous men of Stratford. Little is known of Shakespeare’s early life. In 1592 Shakespeare became suddenly famous as playwright. In April 1593 he published his poem Venus and Adonis. It was a great and lasting success, and was reprinted nine times in the next few years.

There was little playing in 1593. The theatres were shut during a severe outbreak of the plague, but in the autumn of 1594, when the plague ceased, the playing companies were re-organized, and Shakespeare became a sharer in the Lord Chamberlain’s company.

In 1742 Charles Macklin, an Irish actor and playwright, and David Garrick, a famous English actor and theatrical manager, came to New Place (the house built on the site of Shakespeare’s own house) and sat in Shakespeare’s garden under the famous mulberry tree that Shakespeare had planted with his own hands. It is after this that Garrick decided to “take Shakespeare into partnership” and organized the Stratford jubilee of 1769.

It was the prelude to all festivals. Medals were issued in copper, silver, or gold, with Shakespeare’s face on one side and David Garrick’s on the other. There was ringing of bells, breakfast in the Town Hall, speeches, Oratorio in church. And so on for three days.
