There are a number of scenes with less than 15 lines including Henry VI Part 3, 2,4 and Macbeth 1,1 but I think the shortest is Troilus and Cressida 5,9 which is nine lines long.

I'm not sure if it's the shortest, but Act 3 Scene 2 of Othello is only 7 lines long.

Act V, scene ii of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is only 6 lines long. [cindy.stuart@maynard.k12.ar.us]

What is the name of the theater where all William Shakespeares plays were perforned?

There is probably no one theatre where all of Shakespeare's plays were performed. You may be thinking of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 and probably saw all of the plays Shakespeare wrote after that date. But Shakespeare had already been a playwright for seven or eight years before the Globe was built. If any of his plays written before 1599 were played at the Globe they would have to have been revivals. Some of his old plays may have been revived, but all of them? Unlikely.


What is William Shakespeares popularity?

Shakespeare is still by far the most famous and popular playwright in the world. Ask someone on the street to name a playwright and they will almost certainly answer "Shakespeare", not Marlowe, Moliere, Beckett, Edward Albee or any other playwright. Theatre companies everywhere are constantly performing his plays which they wouldn't be doing if nobody liked them. Not only that, but other plays, novels, television shows and movies riff off of the lines and situations in Shakespeare's plays. There are a huge number of theatrical companies the world over that specialize in performing Shakespeare's plays, and almost none which specialize in the plays of any other playwright. And these plays sell out regularly, which is why they keep putting them on.

In plane geometry it is a straight line.

Why is there no such thing as 2 sided polygons?

actually, there is, depending on your definition of polygon, and your definition of a line segment. A line segment is the shortest path btwn two points, right? So take a sphere and pick any two points on that sphere. The shortest path between them on the surface of the sphere would be a "curve" along the surface, but it's the shortest path between the points, so it technally is a line segment. Take two of these line segments that intersect at two points, and there is your two sided polygon!
