Well, honey, Shakespeare didn't exactly have a time clock next to his quill pen. But on average, it's estimated he took about six months to a year to write one of his iconic plays. So, if you're looking to pen a masterpiece, just channel your inner Bard and remember: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was "Romeo and Juliet."

Shakespeare's writing career spanned the years 1590 to 1613, give or take a year either way.
The Comedy of Errors was first published in the First Folio collected edition of Shakespeare's plays in 1623 (seven years after Shakespeare died). There are good reasons to believe that it was already an old play by then, and most critics assume it was written before 1595. Shakespeare wrote his plays for performance, not for publication, and few were published during his lifetime. It was only Shakespeare's younger friend Ben Jonson who popularised the idea of publishing plays, and selling them as books.
King James and everyone in his family were active patrons of the theatre. The King himself sponsored Shakespeare's company, and on at least a couple of occasions, had them play a large number of Shakespeare's plays at court.
From approximately 1600 to the present, give or take 10 years.
It took Shakespeare eight or nine months to complete most of his plays. That means that some years he presented one new play; some years he presented two.

We don't know exactly, although he seems to have produced about forty of them over the course of twenty-five years or so. That's an average of a little less than two a year.
Do you mean: 1) When were Shakespeare's plays written? 2) When were Shakespeare's plays first performed? 3) What time of day were performances when Shakespeare was alive? 4) What time of day does the action of the plays take place? 5) What is the historical setting of Shakespeare's plays? 6) What is the name of the era Shakespeare lived in? 7) Did the actors in Shakespeare's plays have a good time? Your question might be any of the above. Please specify and pose the question in less ambiguous wording.

Umm, where did you get that idea? We have no idea how long it took Shakespeare to write his play. Or how long it took Arthur Brooke to write his poem. Perhaps you are thinking of some other Romeo and Juliet, in which case you should specify.

No although he wrote Romeo and Juliet. Gnomeo and Juliet is just a different take on that!:)
