Very successful. He was not regarded as the top playwright in his own time, but he was definitely in the top three.
William Shakespeare had a history of writing plays during a long and successful career as an actor. He started when he was about twenty-four, and finished when he was about forty-nine.

Very well. Shakespeare was a successful playwright, and he was encouraged to continue writing more and more plays. Also, many of his plays were put into print (some in pirated form), a good sign that they were popular. He was not, of course, the only playwright around at the time that was that successful--he had many popular and talented contemporaries.
I first found Shakespeare's plays when I was introduced to them at school.
