Detailed explanation-1: -Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shakespeare was a part-owner, or sharer, in the company, as well as an actor and the resident playwright. From its inception in 1594, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men performed at The Theatre, a playhouse located in Shoreditch.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare was a prolific writer during the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages of British theatre (sometimes called the English Renaissance or the Early Modern Period). Shakespeare’s plays are perhaps his most enduring legacy, but they are not all he wrote. Shakespeare’s poems also remain popular to this day.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Globe, which opened in 1599, became the playhouse where audiences first saw some of Shakespeare’s best-known plays.
Detailed explanation-5: -His use of music in theater was innovative and influential, and his plays continue to be performed with regularity 400 years after they were first written. For these reasons, Shakespeare can be considered one of the fathers of musical theater. Since his first play’s premiere, the theater has never been the same.
