About William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is generally considered one of the greatest playwrights in history. He was born in 1564 in the English town of Stratford-upon-Avon, and produced more than 30 plays during his lifetime, in addition to many works of poetry. His works are still frequently performed around the world today, more than 400 years after his death in 1616, and have been translated into every major language.
