Why is the tragedy of King Lear the most famous of Shakespeare's works?

It's not. Both Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet are clearly more famous than King Lear. However, a convincing argument can be made that King Lear is the greatest of Shakespeare's works.


What company performed at and made famous what out door theater shakespeare?

The New York Shakespeare Festival made the outdoor Delacorte Theatre in Central Park famous by its presentations of free Shakespeare performances there. Indeed Shakespeare is often performed in outdoor venues, so there are probably a number of theatres (most less famous than the Delacorte) and companies (most less famous than the NYSF) who might fit this bill.


Where were Shakespeare theaters made?

There is no such thing as a "Shakespeare Theatre". Shakespeare performed in theatres, and even invested some money in a couple, but he was not associated with the construction or design or ownership of theatres in his day, or even nowadays. In Shakespeare's day, the theatres in and around London were built either north of the city limits (The Theatre, The Curtain, The Fortune) or south of the river in Southwark (The Rose, The Globe, The Swan) because the city fathers would not permit the construction of a theatre in the city limits. Indoor playhouses, at first for the companies of child actors and later for adult companies were built inside the city over time. Certain Inns (such as the Bel Savage and the Cross Keys) were licenced for theatrical productions in the city in the early part of Shakespeare's career.

What is the title of the poem Shakespeare wrote that made him famous?

Venus and Adonis. First published in 1593, it was Shakespeare's first published work and was very successful, going into a number of printings. He was already well known for his plays at the time, but Venus and Adonis certainly boosted his reputation.
