Did the king and queen attend Shakespeare's plays?
Yes, Shakespeare's company were asked to perform at the courts of both Elizabeth I and James I. In particular, James asked them to perform many times to celebrate the marriage of his daughter in 1612. Many Shakespeare plays including Othello and Measure for Measure were performed.
Which William Shakespeare plays were performed in London?
All of them. London was the centre of the English theatrical scene and the location of all the major playhouses. The theatrical company to which Shakespeare belonged and for whom he wrote all his plays was permanently established at a London theatre (it was a different theatre at different times) and that is where the plays would have seen their premiere.
Did all theater companies own a theater to perform in?
In modern times and today, not all theatre companies own/owned a theatre to perform in. I have worked with one that moved to different theatres!
What role did Queen Elizabeth And her successor James I. Play in the life of Shakespeare and his fellow actors?
Queen Elizabeth passed a law saying that groups of actors were not to be considered as vagabonds if they could show that they were employed by some noble or royal person. Noblemen took advantage of this to employ companies of actors as a status symbol. The actors themselves were basically free to do what they wanted; the patronage of the nobleman was rather like the corporate sponsorship of a sports team. The queen also had acting companies come to perform for her, and not just the one she sponsored, but all of them, including the company sponsored by the Lord Chamberlain, which Shakespeare belonged to, although this was not a frequent event. The new king and his family were avid fans of theatre, and all the members of the royal family sponsored theatre companies. But the king himself sponsored the former Lord Chamberlain's men. This was an acknowledgement of, not the cause of the pre-eminence of this company. The actors were regularly invited to perform many times before the king every winter.
What was the most popular play in Shakespeare's Globe?
When you say "Shakespeare's Globe" you mean the reconstruction of the first Globe Theatre which opened in London in 1997. The most popular play at Shakespeare's Globe is Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, which has been produced 5 times, followed by Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream (4 times each) and Howard Brenton's Anne Boleyn (3 times)

Which theatre company did William Shakespeare join and then change their name?
Shakespeare spent most of his productive life with the same theatre company, which changed its name three times. The names of theatre companies in Shakespeare's day came from the noble or royal patron of the company. The actors were theoretically employed by this patron, although really they were both self-supporting and self-directing. If you work for McDonald's, do you think you can change the name of the company? Of course you can't, and neither could Shakespeare. The first patron of the company was Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain, and so it was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Mr. Carey died but his son George Carey, Lord Hunsdon took over the patronage, so the company was called Lord Hunsdon's Men. Later he got promoted to Lord Chamberlain, so they became the Lord Chamberlain's Men again. When Queen Elizabeth died her successor James I became patron of the company which naturally was then known as The King's Men.
What was globe theaters name after they changed it?
The Gielgud Theatre used to be called the Globe Theatre (from 1909 to 1994). But my guess is that's not the Globe Theatre you are thinking of. You probably are mixing up the Globe Theatre (a building where Shakespeare and others acted and which never changed its name) and the Lord Chamberlain's Men (a company or group of actors which performed in a number of different buildings, the Globe theatre included, which changed its name a number of times).
What theatre did William Shakespeare join and made an important investment in?
Shakespeare was a shareholder in the acting company known at various times as Lord Hunsdon's Men, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and the King's Men. He also owned shares in the public theater known as the Globe Playhouse and the private theater called Blackfriars Playhouse, both of which were used by that same acting company.
What theatre company did William Shakespeare join then change the name of?
Shakespeare became a charter member of The Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594 after knocking around with some other companies (although we cannot be quite sure which ones, Lord Strange's Men is a strong possibility). The Lord Chamberlain's Men changed its name a few times although never because of anything Shakespeare or any other of the actors did. Theatre companies took the names of the noble patrons who gave them legitimacy. If the noble patron changed (or if his title changed) the name of the company automatically changed. In fact this happened to the Lord Chamberlain's Men three times.
