William Shakespeare. Playwright. ©Martin Plant
During Shakespeare's lifetime, he was a working playwright. Fortunately for him, his stuff was good and his work caught on early. His plays sold out to packed houses. But after a while, of course, ticket sales would dwindle. The solution was to write another play. This Shakespeare did, hoping his next play too would be popular with the public, and that it would continue to earn him a living. After all, he was a working stiff, like most of us.
What Shakespeare never realized was that his plays were not only popular, but that they would live on long after he was gone. He simply thought that his plays would be performed , run their course, and then be forgotten, as happened to many other playwrights. Instead, his work is being performed these five hundred years now. You can see his plays in the movies, on Broadway, at summer-stock, in colleges, at Shakespeare In The Park, and countless other venues. Not bad for a working stiff playwright.
