Shakespeare spent nine years with the Lord Chamberlain's Men and another thirteen with the King's Men after they changed their name. I have no idea where the five year figure comes in. It is presumed he came to London before 1592 when is first hit plays were well-enough known to be paraphrased by a rival playwright, possibly as early as 1590. He worked for a variety of companies as an actor and as a playwright until 1594 when he helped to form the Lord Chamberlain's Men.

What theatre did shakespeare spend 5 years working for its theatre group and saving enough to make an important investment?

A theatre is not the same thing as a theatre group. Shakespeare invested in a theatre group in 1594 when he was made a partner of the company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Five years later, the senior partners in the company, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage inherited the playhouses The Theatre and The Curtain from their father. The Curtain was the theatre habitually used by The Lord Chamberlain's Men, and, for complicated legal reasons, they couldn't use The Theatre. The Burbages planned to build a new theatre in a different part of London, using the timbers from The Theatre which they couldn't use anyway. However, they didn't have quite enough cash to do this so they asked some of the members of the Chamberlain's Men to contribute. One of these was Shakespeare. It is misleading to suggest that Shakespeare had spent those five years saving his pennies for the particular purpose of contributing to the building costs of a new theatre. He had no idea that such an opportunity would come up. But when it did come up, he was too shrewd a businessman to let it go.


Who did William Shakespeare spend most of his life with?

Shakespeare spent most of his life with his co-workers in the theatre business. Although he spent a few years, no less than three, with his wife before going to London, and the three years between his retirement and death with her as well, the six to nine years he spent with her do not compare to the twenty-three years and more that he spent in London with no company except his fellow actors. By the end of that time, they must have seemed to be like his real family.


Where did Shakespeare spend his hours writing?

William Shakespeare may have written at his rented lodgings in London where it was peaceful, perfect for him to write. Or he may have written at the pub. Or in the tiring house of the theatre. Or at home in Stratford when he got a few days off. Or any combination of these. Basically we don't know.

Who was really Shakespeare?

Virtually everybody who has studied the matter has concluded that there is sufficient evidence that William Shakespeare, son of John Shakespeare of Stratford, was the noted poet and playwright and that he wrote Venus and Adonis, The Rape of the Lock, the sonnets and the thirty-six plays attributed to him in the First Folio as well as Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen. There is no plausible evidence of any kind that anyone else wrote them. Anti-Stratfordians (those who do not accept William Shakespeare of Stratford as the author) spend most of their time trying to find loopholes in the evidence linking the playwright to Stratford, but precious little making any kind of case for an alternate author.
