William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was a playwright, poet and actor. He is considered the most influential writer in the English language: his plays have been translated into almost every language and are performed in schools and theatres more often than any other playwright. Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in the 1590s and, from that time to today, it has been one of his most frequently performed plays.
