The various actors in the company owned shares in all of the company's assets (primarily scripts, props and costumes). It is believed that Shakespeare had a one-twelfth interest.

Did Shakespeare's theater close in 1592?

What theatre are you thinking of as "shakespeare's theatre"? Because Shakespeare did not own even a part of any theatre in 1592. Nor did he own even a part of any theatrical company. In fact he may not have even been a permanent member of any theatrical company at that time. There was nothing you could call "shakespeare's theatre" in 1592.


What is known about William Shakespeare the actor?

William Shakespeare was a member of the acting company The Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as The King's Men. It is known that he acted in Jonson's Sejanus and Every Man in His Humour, although it is not known in what part. John Davies, writing in 1610 in his book The Scourge of Folly says that "Will Shakespeare" played "kingly parts". Shakespeare is listed among the actors who played in his own plays in the First Folio. There are anecdotes that suggest that Shakespeare played the Ghost in Hamlet and Adam in As You Like It. They may or may not be true.

Who Shakespeare writing for?

Shakespeare's plays were written for theatrical companies, and after 1594 exclusively for his own company The Lord Chamberlain's Men (later The King's Men). His long poems were written for publication from which he received part of the sale proceeds. The sonnets were likely written for private consumption by the people they are purportedly addressed to, but someone was able to gather them all together and print them in 1609.

Which part or parts did Shakespeare play?

Shakespeare began his career in the London theatre as an actor. We can be reasonably certain of this because a critic of his first play, Robert Greene, wrote a highly unfavourable review in which he stated that it was presumptuous of a "mere actor" to write a play. Shakespeare's name appears in the cast lists of the Chamberlain's Men acting company. However, there are notes stating he appeared in his own work but which is not defined


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.
