Yes, the Royal Shakespeare Company used an alternate script for "The Wizard of Oz" in their performances of 1987-1989.
Specifically, the script is adapted by John Kane (b. October 27, 1945). It is based on the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." It is considered as far closer to the movie screenplay than other adaptions, such as the frequently revived script to the 1942 musical.

Is it true that Shakespeare never published any of his plays?
Yes. Shakespeare was not the owner of the right to publish his plays. His position was rather like that of someone hired by a television network to write a script for a television show. The script belongs to the network, not the writer. In the same way, Shakespeare's scripts belonged to the King's Men. Some of the Quarto editions published during his lifetime seem to be pirate copies and others seem to be copies published by the company. The Folio, published in 1623, was published by two members of the company, not by Shakespeare's residuary legatees John and Susanna Hall.
Who published Julius Caesar?
The publication of the first folio of the play was published by a group of men headed by Willian Jaggard and Edward Blount in 1623, some 24 years after Shakespeare wrote the play and 7 years after his death. They probably used the script of the theatre company, rather than Shakespeare's original manuscript.

Did William Shakespeare perform in front of the queen?
He didn't. Although his company did perform at court, that was not how they made their money. Nothing suggests that Shakespeare wrote his plays on commission from the Queen or anyone else: they usually premiered at the public theatres and were afterwards played at court.
How did William shakespeare get his ideas for writing plays?
Shakespeare left no records of his writing process. As a practical theater practitioner, he supplied his company with a new script every eight or nine months. Whether he chose his subjects in conjunction with Burbage and the rest of the company or was free to choose his own topic, or whether he pitched his ideas to the others is all unknown. Whether he wrote on the off-season until 1608 is unknown. Whether he wrote in taverns to take advantage of the free candles is unknown. It is all speculation.
