What share did shakespeare buy?

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.

What building is associated with William Shakespeare?

The Globe Theatre, because Shakespeare did act in it, along with other theatres. It was one of two theatres which he owned a share in. He also was a part owner of the Blackfriars Theatre and he acted in it as well, but not for as long as the Globe.


When did Shakespeare start working on his theatre?

Shakespeare did not own a theatre building--not outright at any rate. He did contribute financially to a couple and got a share of the profits from them. Shakespeare never planned or built any theatre buildings or worked on their construction in any way. If you are asking when Shakespeare started working in the theatre business, the answer is nobody knows because this is an event that occurred during what are called his "lost years" between 1585 and 1592.

Who published Julius Caesar?

The publication of the first folio of the play was published by a group of men headed by Willian Jaggard and Edward Blount in 1623, some 24 years after Shakespeare wrote the play and 7 years after his death. They probably used the script of the theatre company, rather than Shakespeare's original manuscript.


When did Shakespeare retire?

Around 1613, three years before his death.


William shakespeare then spent 5 years working for this theatre group and saved enough to make an important investment -buying a share in a theatre which one?

Shakespeare invested in the Globe Theatre in 1599, five years after he invested in the Acting Company The Lord Chamberlain's Men. The suggestion that he squirrelled away his money for those five years so he could buy a share in the theatre building is ridiculous, because, first, nobody knew five years earlier that the Burbages would need investors in the Globe since they had two perfectly good theatres already, and second, Shakespeare had a lot more money than he put into the Globe. In fact, two years before investing in the Globe, he spent a whack of money buying the second-largest house in Stratford-upon-Avon for his wife to live in.


How many theatre companies did Shakespeare run?

None. Shakespeare was not the leading light in any of the theatre companies he belonged to. In the company he was a member of for nearly twenty years, the Lord Chamberlain's/King's Men, the leader was Richard Burbage. Burbage (and his brother Cuthbert) ran the company; Shakespeare did not.
