Shakespeare's plays were written in the Elizabethan dialect of the English language, sometimes called Early Modern English, with the exception of one scene of Henry V which is in French.

In other words, Shakespeare wrote in the same language I am using now, although a different dialect of it.

Shakespeare did NOT write in Old English. Old English is a totally different language which is completely incomprehensible to any modern English Speakers including Shakespeare, and looks like this: "Haebbe ic gefrugnen thaette is feor heonan eastdaelum on aethelast londa, firum gefraege. Nis se foldan sceat ofer middangeard mongum gefere folcagendra, ac he afyrred is thurh meotudes meaht manfremmendum."
