Not many. Find a fuller at the related link. At this web site it says that she saw The Merry Wives of Windsor and Love's Labor's Lost. It was unclear if she saw any more than those.
The head of state of Canada is Queen Elizabeth II (as of Oct. 2012).
There is no Queen Mum currently. The last Queen Mother was the mother of the current Queen Elizabeth, and she died several years ago.
don't know
Yes, according to CBBC Horrible Histories, she did have smallpox. See the CBBC Horrible Histories website to see more :)
The ship is moored in Long Beach California and contains restaurants and hotel.
No. Many plays Shakespeare did in honour of the Queen and respected her greatly as Queen Elizabeth loved plays. She came in free and had the best seat. If she had to pay, someone else would do it. Camarillo.
Rarely. Find a fuller answer at the related link.
The only people Shakespeare aimed to please were the people who paid his company money to see his plays performed. This meant thousands of people every day. Some of them may have been called Elizabeth. Shakespeare did not write anything for Queen Elizabeth I. His company did perform at court once or twice, but they performed plays which were already tried and tested on the public stage. Court performances were not the bread-and-butter of the company; the performances on the public stage were. Nor was Queen Elizabeth even the patron of Shakespeare's company (you can tell from their name that The Lord Chamberlain was). She was patron of the Queen's Men, for whom Shakespeare never wrote a word. In short, Shakespeare's relationship with Queen Elizabeth was negligible and quite irrelevant to his career and to hers. You might think about it this way: the Beatles performed Please Please Me for HM Queen Elizabeth II but it would be ridiculous to infer from that that they wrote the song for her benefit.
She only saw them in her court. Queen Elizabeth did not attend the public theatres.
Elizabeth I was a patron of the arts and supported theatrical performances in England during her reign. Shakespeare benefited from this support, as his plays were performed in front of the Queen at court. Additionally, Elizabeth's reign was a time of relative stability and prosperity, which allowed for a flourishing of the arts in general, including theater.
Yes, a performance of Love's Labour's Lost was recorded at Elizabeth's court at Christmas 1597.
She probably never went to see any plays. She stayed in the palace and they came to her. That was what a performance at court was all about. There was a performance by the newly formed Lord Chamberlain's Men at court in 1594 but the records do not say what play was performed. However, it is known that Love's Labour's Lost was performed at court on Dec. 26, 1597, the first of Shakespeare's plays which we know the Queen saw.
Depends which Queen Mary you are talking about. Mary I, sometimes known as Bloody Mary, died before Shakespeare was born. Mary II became Queen in 1688, 75 years after Shakespeare died. She might have seen a Shakespeare play; so might have Mary of Teck, wife of George V, the present Queen's grandmother.
Elizabeth. In fact, Shakespearean sonnets have the same form as Elizabethan sonnets. The first name is for the writer who used them extensively, the second name belongs to the period during which Shakespeare wrote them (named for the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth).
When he was eleven, Shakespeare possibly saw Queen Elizabeth I, who was a prominent figure in England during his childhood. The queen's visits to towns and her public appearances would have attracted large crowds, and as a young boy in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare might have had the opportunity to witness her. Elizabeth's reign significantly influenced the cultural landscape of the time, which likely impacted Shakespeare's later work.
Shakespeares plays where watched by many but usally the poor as the veiwings were free as they were so well loved !!
Not Queen Elizabeth, despite what you may have seen in Shakespeare in Love. The Globe was a large theatre, capable of holding 3000 people, and was patronized by middle- and lower-class audiences. The more exclusive and expensive Blackfriars (which Shakespeare also owned part of) catered to a wealthier clientele. But not the Queen. If the Queen wanted to see a play, the play came to her; she didn't go to the play.
