What plays plays Shakespeare rich?
Any play which his theatre company performed. Shakespeare did not make money from the writing of plays, not even from the publication of the scripts. He made his money when they were performed. A successful play meant lots of people coming to the theatre and paying admission, part of which went to the actors (including Shakespeare), another larger part to the "sharers" of the Theatre company (after 1594, also including Shakespeare) and another bigger part of which went to the theatre owners (after 1599, including Shakespeare again). No part of the take went to the author. Thus Shakespeare made as much money out of one of Jonson's or Middleton's plays as he did out of one of his own. However, Shakespeare's plays were often the most popular, and Henry IV Part 1 was a smash hit which made all of the sharers very wealthy.

What famous person came to watch Shakespeare's plays?
I bet you've seen Shakespeare in Love and you think, "Aha! It's Queen Elizabeth I." But she didn't "come to watch" Shakespeare's plays. She told the Lord Chamberlain's Men to come to her. The same goes for James I and members of his family and all of the richest and most powerful people at the time. None of these people would ever go to a playhouse. Of course there are probably many famous people who watched Shakespeare's plays at the theatre during his lifetime: writers, playwrights, poets, musicians, and anyone else who wasn't of the upper crust. And after the Restoration, everyone went to the theatres and just about anyone who was famous for anything had at one time or another seen a Shakespeare play.

Why did Shakespeare carry on writing plays eventhough most were banned?
Plays were not banned at any time during Shakespeare's career. Censored, certainly, but never banned. Indeed the writing and performing of plays was actively encouraged by both monarchs in this period (provided, of course, they were acceptable to the censor). Although certain officials in the City of London opposed the building of playhouses and the performances of the adult companies due to the health risks, traffic problems and increase in crime involved, the acting companies just went into the suburbs to perform. There was no obstacle of this kind to Shakespeare's career as a writer.
