Not Old English, which is a totally different language that neither you nor Shakespeare could comprehend. Nor even Middle English, which Chaucer wrote in, and which you and Shakespeare could understand if it were written, but neither could understand when spoken. No, Shakespeare wrote exclusively in Modern English. You could understand Shakespeare if he spoke to you, although you might think his accent made him sound a bit like a pirate. (The particular dialect of English he used is called Early Modern English)
