William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon in England. He had two older sisters, two younger sisters and three younger brothers. He probably studied Latin, Greek and history. He married Anne Hatthaway when he was 18. They had a daughter called Sussana and twins Judith and Hamnet.
He went to London and worked as an actor and later started to write plays. He wrote about 38 plays – comedies, tragedies and history plays. Some of them are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In 1593 the plague killed thousands of people and theatres were closed. Then he started to write poems. They are called sonnets.
