About the author
Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare left school young but became the greatest writer in English. By the 1590s, he was London's most successful playwright, writing for both Queen Elizabeth I and common groundlings who paid a penny to stand in the Globe Theatre's yard. Shakespeare’s writings are famous for their poetic language, clever wordplay, and deep insights into human nature.

His characters are complex and memorable, each revealing truths about human emotions that still resonate today. More than four centuries later, his plays are still performed, studied, and loved around the world.
