Best Answer

Henry VI is not one play but three that were written at the beginning of Shakespeare's career. They were not all written in the same year. Nor are we sure exactly which years they were written in. Sometime between his twenty-fifth and thirtieth years probably.

Your sentence can be completed in a number of ways. "At the height of his powers", "a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men", "a shareholder in the Globe Theatre", "grieving for the death of his father", "living in London", "about 36 years old", "a well-known actor" and "a married man" would all make a true sentence. "Completely bald"? Probably true. "Drunk"? Possible; no evidence either way. "Mourning his son"? Unlikely, as his son had died four or five years earlier.
