Shakespeare.

KEY WORDS.

#shakespeare400: This is a key word because now, this year we celebrate 400 years of his death.
He died on the  April 23rd of 1616.

#annehathaway: She was his wife. Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway in 1582, he was 18 years old and she was 26. They had two daughters and one son: Susanna, Hamnet and Judith. 

In 1613, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground when a cannon shot during a performance of Henry VIII ignited the thatched roof of the gallery. The company completed a new Globe on the foundations of its predecessor before Shakespeare's death. It continued operating until 1642, when the Puritans closed it down. Puritans razed the building two years later in 1644 to build tenements upon the premises. The Globe would remain a ghost for the next 352 years. 


As to the most important works of theater I could say that these are:
-Romeo and Juliet
-Richard III
-A Midsummer Night's Dream 
-Much Ado About Nothing
