What was the most popular of Shakespeare's plays during his lifetime?

It is difficult for us to estimate how popular plays were in Shakespeare's day. One source is the diary of Philip Henslowe. Some of Shakespeare's early plays were played by companies who played in Henslowe's Rose Theatre. Henslowe kept records of these plays and what the take was on the performance. Henslowe records that Harry VI (which scholars think was probably the play we now know of as Henry VI Part I) debuted on March 3, 1592 at the Rose and ran for 15 performances, earning 3 pounds 16 shillings and eightpence. This shows the play to have been profitable and popular. Titus Andronicus we know to be popular from the same source. Unfortunately Henslowe only produced a few of Shakespeare's earliest plays--Shakespeare soon began writing exclusively for The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Another possible indicator of the popularity of the plays is the number of times they were published in Shakespeare's lifetime. Hamlet (3), Romeo and Juliet (3), Richard III (5), Richard II (5), Henry IV Part I (6) and Titus Andronicus (3) went through a number of editions, suggesting that these were popular plays.


What is the name of William Shakespeare's theatre in London?

During Shakespeare's lifetime, his plays were performed at at least six public theatres in London: The Rose in 1592-93, The Theatre in 1594-6, The Curtain in 1596-1599, The first Globe in 1599-1613, the second Globe in 1613-1616, and the Blackfriars in 1608-1616, as well as being performed on makeshift stages in country venues, in people's houses, in public halls, at court, and even on board ship. After Shakespeare's death in 1616 his plays continued to be played at the second Globe and the Blackfriars (as well as the makeshift venues) to 1642, when all theatre was banned. After the Restoration, Shakespeare's plays were performed at the Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres, and later, at just about all of the theatres in the world.

Who wrote William Shakespeare's plays?

William Shakespeare did. The chances that he did not contribute at least something to all of the plays people attribute to him are infinitesimally small. The evidence is quite clear that: 1. William Shakespeare was a real person who was born and died in Stratford. 2. William Shakespeare from Stratford was a member of the playing company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men and the King's Men and was a close friend with the other members. 3. The plays which were published with Shakespeare's name on them were exclusively associated with the Lord Chamberlain's/ King's Men for as long as he was a member of that company. 4. William Shakespeare was depicted as a writer by those who knew him best within a couple of years of his death. 5. There is no contemporary record of any other person called William Shakespeare who could possibly be mistaken for Shakespeare the writer. 6. Nobody in the history of the world has used the name of a well-known living person as a nom de plume. Some think that Edward de Vere the 17th Earl of Oxford wrote the plays but there is no good reason to think he did and a number of good reasons to think he didn't.
