After the plagues of 1592, Shakespeare's plays were performed by his own company at The Theatre and the Curtain in Shoreditch, north of the Thames. Globe theatre The Globe opened in autumn 1599, with Julius Caesar one of the first plays staged. Most of Shakespeare's greatest post-1599 plays were written for the Globe, including Hamlet, Othello and King Lear.

Drama 1593 and 1594 – Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucreece. 1601 – The phoenix and the Turtle 1609 - A Lover’s Complaint 1599 - Two early drafts of sonnets 138 and 144 appeared In The Passionate Pilgrim, published under Shakespeare's name but without his permission.
