William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 to a middle-class family. In 1590, William left his family to go to London to pursue a career as an actor and playwright. William Shakespeare became the best-known playwright in England and owned part of the Globe Theatre. His career as a playwright dates back to the period when Elizabeth I was on the throne (1558-1603), during this period A Midsummer Night's Dream was written but no one knows the exact date of when it was published.
