Shakespeare wrote over 36 plays which are counted as some of the greatest plays ever written. That's a fact.

Shakespeare is said to have left Stratford because he had been poaching deer and didn't want to be prosecuted. That's a rumour.

How much ado about nothing relates to a modern audience?

Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing is basically a play of characters that make a big deal out of nothing, hence the name. This play can be interpreted as Shakespeare making fun of those who founded their knowledge of things on gossip and hearsay; making gossip understood as truthful and letting it get out of hand. This understanding of gossip leading to bigger issues is relevant in any society with communication and ideals concerning social standards, thus throughout modern times.


Was Shakespeare faithful?

If you believe some scholars, sonnet 40 was written to Shakespeare's male lover after he'd run off with Shakespeare's female lover. If you believe Thomas Betterton, he was Shakespeare's bastard child got on a woman who lived in a roadside tavern. So, there are lots of rumours suggesting that Shakespeare did not remain faithful to Anne, but this might just be gossip and speculation. There is not any real proof of any of these stories. Betterton's mother did not, for example, successfully prove Shakespeare's paternity of her child in court. She did not even attempt to do so. In any event, Anne took Will back, apparently without ructions.
