Did Queen Elizabeth I go to the opening night of a Midsummers Nights Dream by William Shakespeare?
Actually, no, the following answer is incorrect. Queen Elizabeth was not a Patron of Shakespeare. His patron as a writer was Henry Wriothesley, not the queen. The patron of his theatre company was the Lord Chamberlain, not the queen. The first recorded performance was indeed at court, but since it was on January 1, 1605, Queen Elizabeth was already dead. Although that is the first recorded performance, we know that it had been performed a number of times years before, but we don't know when or who exactly saw the performances. There is no record that Queen Elizabeth ever saw this play. ******** Yes. Queen Elizabeth I was present on opening night as she had a fondness for the arts. Most historians agree she was a Patron to Shakespeare. There is mention of her attendance in relevant historical books. An interesting bit of true historical data!
