Shakespeare's Company

Shakespeare's Company was a theater company established in the early 17th century that performed plays written by William Shakespeare and other playwrights of the period. It was originally called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men and later became the King’s Men after receiving royal patronage. The company performed at notable venues like The Globe Theatre in London, drawing large audiences and greatly influencing English drama. They operated as a professional ensemble, often sharing profits and responsibilities among members, and contributed significantly to the theatrical culture of Elizabethan and Jacobean England.
