Best Answer

Shakespeare was not alive in 1954. Prior to 1594 Shakespeare worked with a number of companies as an actor and as a playwright. The companies may have included Queen Elizabeth's Men, Pembroke's Men, Strange's Men, and possibly others. In 1594 he became a founding member of an acting company which lasted long after his death in 1616. The company formed as Lord Hunsdon's Men, but soon after Lord Hunsdon was appointed Lord Chamberlain of England, so the company changed its name to reflect the new elevated status of its patron. In 1603, King James I became the company's new patron and the company name again changed to the King's Men. The King's Men lasted until the closing of the theaters in 1642. Shakespeare also owned shares in the Globe, a public playhouse, and Blackfriars, a private playhouse.

When did Shakespeare in the park first debut in Central Park?

The New York Shakespeare Festival was started by Joseph Papp in 1954. At first they performed in a church basement. They then started touring the city and the outer boroughs, performing on the back of a flatbed truck. In 1957 one of the places the truck stopped was in Central Park. The manager of the park objected that theatregoers were trampling the grass, and in 1959 sued Papp. Papp succeeded, however, and as a result the Delacorte theatre was built for the Festival to perform at. The first performance at this theatre, which is still the home of Shakespeare in the Park, was in 1962.

Who directed Romeo and Juliet in 1595?

I am guessing you are talking about Romeo + Juliet (1996) that was written by Craig Pearce and Baz Luhrmann based on the play written by William Shakespeare. Still, the screenplay used much of Shakespeare's original lines.
