What does Shakespeare mean by the word leave?

Two things. One is the verb meaning to go from where you are to somewhere else. "I leave for London in the morning" This is the most common meaning.There is also a noun form "I take my leave" which means "I'm leaving now".The second meaning means "permission". This is the meaning in the phrase "absent without leave (AWOL)". It occurs in phrases like "give me leave", or "I ask your leave", "by your leave" and so on.

Why did the players and shakespeare leave London in the summer?

They didn't usually leave London in the summer because that is when the light was good and the temperature was warm which made it a good time to perform plays when you are playing in an outdoor theatre with natural light. However, in 1593, there was a bad outbreak of plague, and as a health precaution the authorities closed the London theatres. Most of the players took their plays on tour, which was not always profitable (a country tour bankrupted the company called Lord Pembroke's Men). Shakespeare devoted himself to writing his long erotic poem Venus and Adonis which he had printed and put on sale. Unlike the actors who went on tour, Shakespeare made a tidy sum out of the closure of the theatres. Did he leave London? Probably. It was probably a good opportunity to visit Anne and the kids.
