We dont know when Shakespeare arrived in London and there are many theories and myths
regarding how his life in theatre began. The theatres were new, hugely popular and controversial.
They were attacked by churchmen as immoral and dangerous. Shakespeare was a professional actor
and playwright. He wrote on average three plays a year. Whatever we think about him as a writer, he
was principally a man of the stage: he worked collaboratively, acted in plays by other authors and
became a shareholder in the Globe.
