He was certainly an actor in some of his own plays. Whether he was a director is a matter of conjecture--as likely as not there was no one person who took on that role and everyone in the company had a hand in it. If there was only one director it was likely not Shakespeare but the leading actor, Richard Burbage.

∙ 13y agoWe are not sure whether Elizabethan and Jacobean plays had directors in the sense we know them. Likely, as the author, Shakespeare supplied subtext for the actors. He may have indicated to them his intentions as to blocking, or the actors may have worked it out for themselves. In some senses, it appears likely that Shakespeare did perform some of the duties which we would now recognize as belonging to the director.

What are differences between William shakespeare and arthur miller?
Shakespeare's scripts consist of the lines and a few stage directions. Miller wrote long and detailed instructions on how the set was to look, what the costumes were like and so on. Miller wanted to be the director as well as the playwright--Shakespeare left those details to the people actually producing the play.
Who of the craftsmen Is In charge of rehearsals?
In modern theatre, the stage manager is in charge of rehearsals, under the direction of the director. In Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, Peter Quince appears to be both stage manager and director. And he is also the author of the play! This kind of multitasking in offstage roles is pretty common in amateur theatre.
