There is a lot of controversy about this play as when it was written and when it was performed the best date for when it was performed is found in theatrical entrepreneur Philip Henslowe's Diary and was dated June 13, 1594.

How long does it take to learn a script when shakespeare was a live?

Henslowe's Diary, an account-book belonging to the impresario Philip Henslowe, shows that the companies playing at the Rose and Newington Butts Theatres (which Henslowe owned) brought out a new play every two weeks. It is not clear whether they were only working on one new play at a time, but if they were that would mean that they had two weeks to learn a new script, while at the same time giving performances practically every day of ten plays or so that they had in repertoire. An actor in Shakespeare's time may have had fifty plays or more performance ready at any given time.


What was the most popular of Shakespeare's plays during his lifetime?

It is difficult for us to estimate how popular plays were in Shakespeare's day. One source is the diary of Philip Henslowe. Some of Shakespeare's early plays were played by companies who played in Henslowe's Rose Theatre. Henslowe kept records of these plays and what the take was on the performance. Henslowe records that Harry VI (which scholars think was probably the play we now know of as Henry VI Part I) debuted on March 3, 1592 at the Rose and ran for 15 performances, earning 3 pounds 16 shillings and eightpence. This shows the play to have been profitable and popular. Titus Andronicus we know to be popular from the same source. Unfortunately Henslowe only produced a few of Shakespeare's earliest plays--Shakespeare soon began writing exclusively for The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Another possible indicator of the popularity of the plays is the number of times they were published in Shakespeare's lifetime. Hamlet (3), Romeo and Juliet (3), Richard III (5), Richard II (5), Henry IV Part I (6) and Titus Andronicus (3) went through a number of editions, suggesting that these were popular plays.
