Which tragedies did William Shakespeare write between 1605 and 1620?
Considering that Shakespeare died in 1616, I can confidently say that he wrote no tragedies from April of 1616 until 1620. As for the tragedies written from 1605-1616, it is a somewhat difficult question to answer. There is little to no evidence to say, conclusively, when the majority of Shakespeare's plays were written. We know when they were published (in many cases after his death) and we have some idea as to when the plays were performed (some plays more than others), but when they were actually written is problematic and in some cases impossible to tell.Having said that, I will do my best. It's reasonable to assume that the plays would have been performed soon after they were written, so a rough idea of the tragedies that appeared from 1605 until 1616 are- Othello (possibly 1604)- King Lear- Macbeth- Antony and Cleopatra- Coriolanus- Timon of Athens- Cymbaline (not considered a tragedy by everyone)
Did Shakespeare write in the sixteenth century?
Yes he did write them although he made free with his sources, sometimes incorporating phrases from them in his own plays. Also, some of his plays were written by Shakespeare in partnership with other playwrights.
Did William Shakespeare ever have his plays performed before the king and queen?
Yes. We have documentary evidence of that. The records of the Master of the Revels for 1605 show that the King's Men were called upon to play a number of plays at court, most of them by Shakespeare, including Othello, The Merchant of Venice, and Love's Labour's Lost.
When did Shakespeare write Coriolanus?
The original play Coriolanus was written by William Shakespeare, believed to be written between 1605 and 1608. The play is based on the life of the legendary Roman leader Caius Marcius Coriolanus.
Which of William Shakespeare's plays referred to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605?
Macbeth's references to "equivocators" could be a reference to the defences put up by those accused in the Gunpowder Plot, which they specifically called "equivocating".

What was Shakespeare able to do in 1605?
Unless you accept the idea, not held by many, that Shakespeare spent less time on stage after 1604 (due to his not being in the cast of Jonson's Volpone), Shakespeare was able, as far as we know, to do the exact same things in 1605 as he had been able to in the previous couple of years.

Where did the event of William Shakespeare writing Macbeth?
The accession to the throne of England by the Scottish king James VI (James I of England). James was fascinated by witchcraft and Scottish history. The only problem is that this event did not take place in 1605, but rather in 1603. Some scholars think that there are allusions in the play to the Gunpowder Plot of November 5, 1605 and the subsequent trials.

What queen did William Shakespeare show his plays to?
Shakespeare is known to have performed at leasttwice before Queen Elizabeth the first, on December 26 and 28, 1594, but the record does not give the name of the plays performed and they may well have been by other playwrights. Therefore we do not know whether Queen Elizabeth ever saw a Shakespeare play.On the other handhis plays were performed many many times before Queen Anne, the wife of King James I. A record exists of the performances given before King James and Queen Anne in the period between Hallowe'en 1604 and Shrove Tuesday 1605, a period of about six months. During this period, the King's Men (The company to which Shakespeare belonged) performed 11 times before the King and Queen, and eight of those were plays written by Shakespeare.
