William Shakespeare，was born in 1564, probably on 23 April, in Stratford-on-Avon in England. There are many stories about his childhood but no documented facts.

After he was baptised the first record of his life is his marriage to Anne Hathaway in 1582. In 1583 the couple had a daughter and in 1585 they had twins, a boy and a girl. For the next seven years of his life there are no records. But we know that in 1592 Shakespeare was working in London as an actor, and was known as a playwright.
