Detailed explanation-1: -For more than two decades, Shakespeare had multiple roles in the London theater as an actor, playwright, and, in time, a business partner in a major acting company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (renamed the King’s Men in 1603).
Detailed explanation-2: -So, for about twenty years, he made money from acting, writing and running a theatre company.
