Queen Elizabeth did not go to Shakespeare plays. Shakespeare's plays, and, much more often, the plays and entertainments of others went to her. And whoever was at court when that happened saw the entertainment with her.
The Queen, as head of government, set policies about what could or could not be represented in a play. Although some blasphemous material was sometimes censored out (including a lot of Falstaff's swearing), the main thrust of government interference had to do with politically sensitive themes or remarks. An attempt to write a play about Sir Thomas More, in which Shakespeare is believed to have taken part, failed because they could not get it past the censors. A play in 1598, The Isle of Dogs, created a furore and caused all theatres to be closed for a time. The company who produced it went broke. The Lord Chamberlain, the patron of Shakespeare's company. conveniently was the man in charge of entertainments for the court, and the company had many bookings to perform before the Queen. They did so fourteen times between 1595 and 1597. The Queen must have at least tolerated Shakespeare's plays as she kept watching them. On the other hand, Shakespeare was very smooth at knowing just exactly what he could get away with and what he couldn't--compared to other playwrights, he was almost never in trouble. The need to be circumspect is the most important influence the Queen had on Shakespeare. The following answer is just wrong. Elizabethan England was not extremely anti-Semitic and did not treat Jews harshly. The Queen actually employed Jewish doctors. Shakespeare wrote no violently anti-Semitic plays (although Marlowe wrote one) and only one of his 38 plays has anything to do with Jews. "During the time of Queen Elizabeth, England was a very anti-Semitic country discriminating harshly against Jews. Queen Elizabeth was the queen and had no objection to this kind of unethical behaviour therefore this may have influenced Shakespeare in the sense that if he wanted a vast audience he needed to go with what is current."
It is thought that William Shakespeare retired in 1613 and went to live in New Place, his house in Stratford.
When Hernan Cortes went on his expeditions in the Americas, he went under the same patronage as Christopher Columbus. Charles and Isabella were the rulers of Spain who encouraged the conquistadors.
Elizabeth I of England loved the arts. She was a large fan of drama, music, poetry and literature. She went to the theatre often and this really caused the arts to thrive. Also William Shakespeare wrote his plays during the Elizabethan era.
1. Don't be such a drama queen. 2. She went to drama class.
Yes, she did Queen Elizabeth did she said it was the finest play she went to. Queen Elizabeth was in the court where Shakespeare's plays were performed, she attended a lot of his plays.
Shakespeares plays where watched by many but usally the poor as the veiwings were free as they were so well loved !!
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.
he went to the tarvarn to his room
Except to the extent that Shakespeare knew that he couldn't write anything which might criticize the monarch, since people who wrote those kinds of things went to jail, the king and queen had no influence on Shakespeare's writing.
About everyone except the very poor. People went to be seen especially the upper class.
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.
Probably not. The suggestion that he "never blotted a line" suggests that he wrote his plays as he went along.
She loved the theatre and also Shakespeare was alive and thrived at that time. Because Shakespeare was so good at writing plays many people of all classes went to see his plays.

They knew of each other, certainly--she was the queen, and everyone had heard of her. He was a well-known actor and playwright. It is unlikely that if they ever spoke to each other, it went beyond "Well done, Mr. Shakespeare." "Thank you, your majesty."
nothing would happen but it would be quite nerve racking
