Shakespeare has nothing to do with the phrase "the show must go on" which originated long after he had left the theatre scene. In his day "show" did not mean a production, but did refer to a scene done without dialogue, or "dumb show", as in Quince's line from Midsummer Night's Dream "Perhaps you wonder at this show".

What is the qualities of mercy?

When Portia says, "the quality of mercy is not strain'd; it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven on the place beneath," she means that you cannot force someone to be merciful. It has to be a free act. She says in her previous line "Then must the Jew be merciful" to which Shylock retorts, "On what compulsion must I? Tell me that." His retort is justified; Portia had no business using the word "must". And she admits it with this famous line. "The quality of mercy" here means the same thing as "the nature of mercy"; its quality is its character.


What roles was shakespeare famous for playing?

There are only a few references to Shakespeare as an actor, enough to convince us that he must have been one, but not enough to tell us much about his career. He played in two of Ben Jonson's plays. A contemporary, John Davies of Hereford, said in 1610 that Shakespeare "plaid some kingly parts" and about a hundred years later a man called Rowe said that he played the Ghost in Hamlet, and that this was a famous role. Maybe he played that part, but he was not famous enough for it for anyone to mention it at the time.

Why did shakespeare feel guity for the death of Christopher marlowe?

You must mean in the movie Shakespeare in Love, where Shakespeare has given the false name "Christopher Marlowe" and believes that his (Shakespeare's) enemies have killed Marlowe by mistake. This is an entirely fictional story for which there is no basis in fact.


What is the name of Shakespeare's theater now?

It depends what you mean by "Shakespear's Theatre". Do you mean one of the two theatres he invested in in his lifetime? They have the same names they always did. Do you mean a theatre famous for its Shakespeare performances? There are lots of those all over the world. Do you mean a theatre with the name "Shakespear's Theatre"? If so, I don't know if there is such a theatre, but if there is it must be called Shakespear's Theatre, obviously.
