Actors who played in Shakespeare's theatre:
-Richard Burbage: the son of James Burbage who built the Globe and established the Blackfriars Theatre. Burbage was one of the great tragic actors of his day and the roles of Hamlet, Othello and Lear were probably written for him
-Will Kemp played the part of a clown/comedian. As a comic actor he played the part of Dogberry in 'Much Ado About Nothing' but he probably left the company soon afterwards. He was one of the original shareholders of the newly founded Globe in 1599, but very soon he left the Chamberlain's men, to morris-dance his way from London to Norwich - about 180 km and it is this which is depicted here; the original is made from an old woodcut. The journey is recorded in 'Kempe's Nine Daie Wonder'
-William Sly, who was in Shakespeare's Company between the years 1594 -1605. It is believed that he took youthful, romantic or soldierly parts such as Tybalt in 'Romeo and Juliet', Laertes in 'Hamlet' or Hotspur in 'Henry IV'

so some distance as all of us understand he never visited Italy and not in any respect travelled foreign places. He did in spite of the undeniable fact that stay and artwork in London which then as now grew to become right into a determining to purchase and merchandising port and could for this reason he could have met a lot of human beings from Italy, France, Germany, Denmark and added afield. maximum of his performs are re-workings of previous thoughts and thoughts that have been surpassed down, Shakespeare labored them into performs and together as he's credited with writing Romeo & Juliet and MacBeth etc those are only dramatzations of latest thoughts. The Tempest is his only unique artwork.

In Shakespeare time women who were "actress" were the equivalent of today's exotic Vegas dancers. Shakespeare's actors were a bunch of men and young boys to play the women. I'll bet that was a sight to see! LOL!
