Was Shakespeare affected by censorship?
Yes, all playwrights had to watch out for the censor and in fact they always have to. In Shakespeare's day, you had to be very careful of two things: politics and religion. If you implied that the government ought to be overthrown, or that any religion other than the official one was the right one, you could find yourself in jail. Shakespeare was actually pretty good at avoiding the censors, but he did have to do it.
Did William Shakespeare face rejection as a playwright?
We cannot really tell, since we only have record of his successful work, the plays which were published after a long and profitable run in the theatres. During his early career, he may have faced rejection. But in fact the theatre world of the day allowed budding playwrights to apprentice along more established ones to improve their skills. Some think that Shakespeare may have done this with the playwright Greene. Playwrights did not usually show up at the door of a playing company with a script, which is a scenario ripe for rejection.

He certainly did. Most reports of him seem to indicate that he was a very nice fellow. Some of his associates in the theatre became good friends, particularly Hemminges and Condell, who not onoly brought out the first "complete works" but were also named in Shakespeare's will.

Foremost among these was Thomas Kyd, whose play The Spanish Tragedy was far and away the most popular play in English theatre during Shakespeare's entire career.

Did the time and society influence William Shakespeare's work?
Of course. Shakespeare and all writers were subject to considerable political censorship. He had to be sure that his plays could not be taken as an attack on the regime of the day. He certainly had to be sure that his plays could not be taken as endorsing an illegal religion. Unlike some of his fellow playwrights, Shakespeare appears to have had no trouble keeping in good stead with the censors. One way of doing so was to write on stories which had good staying power and were not topical satires or commentaries on the events of the day.
What theater is named after William Shakespeare?
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, which was built in 1997 and still stands on the south bank of the Thames in London. No theatres in Shakespeare's day were named after him (or any other person).
