Shakespeare himself was a very influential playwright of the Elizabethan time. Some other playwrights who were writing then were Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Greene, and Thomas Nashe. These three men are often referred to as the "University Wits," as they were educated at England's finest universities and became playwrights afterward.
