Shakespeare had always been pretty wealthy growing up. His father was John Shakespeare, known to be the town official. His mother as Mary Arden. One of Shakespeare's very first poems were "//Venus and Adonis// in the Stationers". After a while, William decided to go to London, and leave his children and wife behind. William was a partner for the new Globe Theater. He left, and made it big. After a while of making plays, and sonnets, a plague had struck. Most of the theaters were shut down. Soon after, everything was better. William then looked into real estate. This is when he had purchased a theater. Soon after he had gotten financially stable, he moved his wife and kids out to London. There he continued with his work, and after awhile, he retired. William Shakespeare died on his birthday, April 23rd. (April 23rd 1565 - April 23rd 1616.) Surprisingly, even though William had written a ot of play, most of his work became famous after his death.
