Shakespeare's rumored mistress is usually referred to by what name?

William Shakespeare makes reference to a Dark Lady in his sonnets - but no-one knows who this dark lady is. (Shakespeare also appears to refer to Anne Hathaway in Sonnet CXLV). There may not even have been a Dark Lady: many sonnetteers at the time invented girlfriends to write poems about. We know that Shakespeare rented a room from George Wilkins early in his career. And we know that George Wilkins managed a brothel at around the same time. Perhaps William Shakespeare knew one of the working girls. (John Mortimer suggest this very convincingly in his 1977 series of TV plays William Shakespeare).


What the difference between 'comedy of errors' and 'the boys from Syracuse'?

The Comedy of Errors is by Shakespeare. The Boys from Syracuse is not. It has a very similar plot, and the Shapespeare play was its source, but it was written by George Abbot. It is also a musical, whereas there are no musical breaks in the Shakespeare play. The Twins by Plautus is another play with a similar plot which was Shakespeare's source for his play.


How many actual copies of the plays did Shakespeare write himself?

There was probably only one or two master copies of the play written by Shakespeare himself. There were no copyright laws in that time, and if full copies of the plays were given out, they were liable to be stolen by jealous playwrites from other theaters. Therefore, the actors were given only their parts, and cue words so they could know when their next part was coming up. So Shakespeare probably only had full copies for himself.
