Shakespeare's life was full of accomplishments. During his time, he was the most popular playwrighter out there. To this day his playwrights are considered to be the best ever written. His most-known playwright was the romantic-tragedy, Romeo & Juliet.

Most of his plays were first presented in the Globe Theater, in which he owned. The Globe Theater was built in 1599, and sadly burned down in 1613. The Globe Theater had tier galleries where the wealthy people sat. Near the state, was the "groundlings" which was where the less wealthier people stood. If a performance was poor, they would throw tomatoes at the actors.
