Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), and Thomas Kyd (1558-1594) and Robert Greene (1558-1592) were the most famous playwrights who worked exclusively in the reign of Elizabeth. Other famous playwrights began their careers in Elizabeth's reign but concluded in that of James I including Ben Jonson (1572-1637), and Thomas Dekker (1572-1632).
What else can I help you with?
Why Shakespeare's plays reflected Elizabethan England?
Because that's when he was alive. If you mean why all his plays (except Marry Wives) are set in different times or different places, it's because he couldn't talk about things that where wrong in England at the time.

How was Jewish treated like in the Elizabethan times?
In 1290 Edward I expelled all Jews from England, and they were not readmitted to the country till 1657 (except as members of the households of foreign diplomats). So, in the reign of Elizabeth I, there were practically no Jews in England. However, all the usual stereotypes were there.
How was Shakespeare family?
Fine, thank you. Except Shakespeare's son Hamnet they all outlived him.
What is an Elizabethan word from one of Shakespeare's plays that is no longer in use?
There isn't one. Since all of Shakespeare's plays are constantly performed in their original language, all of the words he uses are currently being used, even if only for the limited purpose of performing his plays. The issue is complicated by the fact that some of the words Shakespeare used were words he made up himself, and did not catch on. One of my favourites is "superflux" which is used in the play King Lear and means "the excess". Shakespeare just made that up, but nobody uses it except people who are playing or quoting King Lear.
What kind of people were not allowed to act in Shakespeare's plays?
It was unlawful for women to appear on stage in Shakespeare's day.

What did William Shakespeare work except from wirting?
He was also an actor and businessmen.
What debate surrounds shakespeare and the writing of his plays?
Shakespeare is the most studied author in the English language, and so naturally there are many issues for debate about the plays. Some scholars suggest that Shakespeare was a closet homosexual and this affected his writing. Others suggest that he was a closet Catholic and that this affected the writing of the plays. Other debates have centred around the writing of the plays--whether the ones identified as being by Shakespeare may have been co-written with other authors, or whether plays not identified as Shakespeare's in any contemporary published source may have been his work. Then there are the issues surrounding the sonnets: who is "Mr. W.H.", and who are the sonnets written to (the so-called "fair youth" and "dark lady")? One issue that is not the subject for academic debate is whether William Shakespeare the playwright was the same person as William Shakespeare of Stratford. All of the evidence supports this. Only conspiracy theorists who claim that there would be contrary evidence except that it has been cunningly destroyed or encoded think that this is an issue.
Is One Direction from England?
