What you think about Shakespeare's audience?
I think they were very lucky. They got a chance to see the premieres of all of Shakespeare's plays, without any preconceptions about them. Nowadays any production of Hamlet is carrying 400 years of Hamlets on its back. Also, the audiences would have been able to see Shakespeare himself acting in the plays. How cool would that be?
Did children see Shakespeare's plays?
yes

What was the first shakespeare play Queen Elizabeth went to see?
She probably never went to see any plays. She stayed in the palace and they came to her. That was what a performance at court was all about. There was a performance by the newly formed Lord Chamberlain's Men at court in 1594 but the records do not say what play was performed. However, it is known that Love's Labour's Lost was performed at court on Dec. 26, 1597, the first of Shakespeare's plays which we know the Queen saw.

No. Many plays Shakespeare did in honour of the Queen and respected her greatly as Queen Elizabeth loved plays. She came in free and had the best seat. If she had to pay, someone else would do it. Camarillo.
How did Elizabeth I encourage Shakespeare?
Elizabeth I was a patron of the arts and supported theatrical performances in England during her reign. Shakespeare benefited from this support, as his plays were performed in front of the Queen at court. Additionally, Elizabeth's reign was a time of relative stability and prosperity, which allowed for a flourishing of the arts in general, including theater.

How did Shakespeare aim to please elizabeth?
The only people Shakespeare aimed to please were the people who paid his company money to see his plays performed. This meant thousands of people every day. Some of them may have been called Elizabeth. Shakespeare did not write anything for Queen Elizabeth I. His company did perform at court once or twice, but they performed plays which were already tried and tested on the public stage. Court performances were not the bread-and-butter of the company; the performances on the public stage were. Nor was Queen Elizabeth even the patron of Shakespeare's company (you can tell from their name that The Lord Chamberlain was). She was patron of the Queen's Men, for whom Shakespeare never wrote a word. In short, Shakespeare's relationship with Queen Elizabeth was negligible and quite irrelevant to his career and to hers. You might think about it this way: the Beatles performed Please Please Me for HM Queen Elizabeth II but it would be ridiculous to infer from that that they wrote the song for her benefit.
What were the names of the six plays that William wrote?
