how did we get shakespeare's plays?

Question

i mean how did us find his work.

were they continued in the theatres after he died and have kept on being in the theatres now

Answer 1

First of all
'Come on you Reds'. I've been watching them since 1955!

Anyway, back to the question. I assume you don't want the simple answer which is 'Because he wrote them'. Shakespeare was born in 1564 on April 23rd and was the son of a tradesman who became bailiff ( mayor) of Stratford upon Avon in 1568.He was educated at the local grammar school and married Anne Hathaway in 1582 and had three children. Soon after he went to London and became an actor at the leading company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men (Called The Kings Men after 1603) He began writing plays in 1589 starting with a historical terology of Henry Vi and Richard III before writing many more. In 1611 he retired to Stratford where he died in 1616 on his 53rd birthday April 23rd. The reason that his plays and other writings have survived is because they were published in book form in 1623 and known as The First Folio containing 36 plays. Others were published subsequently. Because the plays were thus copied several times they survived into modern times although even some of the original manuscripts did likewise. Had this publishing not taken place it is unlikely that many of the plays would have survived had they consisted solely of a single, handwritten manuscript.

Due to the popularity of his work and the widespread availablity of them they have been performed contunually ever since, notably at The Globe Theatre in London where Shakespeare was based during his residence there. The Globe has recently been renovated to be as it was in Shakespeare's day.

Answer 2

They were actually published in sets (called folios) during his life, as well as being performed in theatres of the day. In fact, after his death there was a spike in the number of folios printed, with several of his later works only published post-humanously. They have been continuously performed and reprinted since then.

If you want the obvious answer, Shakespeare wrote them on paper, although there's controversy about that too.

Answer 3

-Tragedies: Othello - King Lear - Hamlet - Macbeth - Romeo and Juliet. -Histories: Henry V. -Comedies: The Taming of the Shrew -and- As you want it. did you keep in mind that Italian author Luigi de Porto wrote the tale "Romeo and Juliet"? William Shakespeare replaced into so inspired by technique of it, and by technique of a real adventure of a 16 year previous couple in his circumstances, that he wrote The Play, and with it the overall public of the Characters, circumstances, twists, and positively, a masterfully written drama. That replaced into organic suggestion.

Answer 4

We searched his home (w/o a warrant) and ramsacked his drwaers until we found his secret diary that contained a million love letters/poems & a couple of plays and stories.
