Ben Jonson
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.
One contemporary of Shakespeare was Ben Jonson, who lived from 1572 to 1637. He was a prominent playwright, poet, and actor, known for his satirical comedies and for being a rival of Shakespeare in the theatrical world. Jonson's works, such as "Volpone" and "The Alchemist," are celebrated for their sharp wit and social commentary, and he was also the first to establish a form of the modern English comedy of manners.
