On November 28, 1582 the Bishop of Worcester issued the marriage bond for "William Shakespeare" and "Ann Hathwey of Stratford." born in April, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1599, he became part owner in the most prestigious public playhouse in London, the Globe. From November 1, 1604 to October 31, 1605, the King's Men performed 11 performances before the King. • Beginning in 1608, the King's Men were allowed to take possession and put on performances at their indoor theater the Blackfriars, the lease to which had been obtained in 1599 by Richard Burbage in his efforts to find a place to continue playing when their original lease on the Theatre had expired. Sometime between 1599 and 1601 Shakespeare wrote Hamlet, and from Hamlet on, until about 1608 when he began writing the great Romances Cymbeline, Winter's Tale and The Tempest, Shakespeare's vision turned to tragedy. 1608 also marks a change in tone in Shakespeare's work from the dark mood of the tragedies to one of light, magic, music, reconciliation and romance. Shakespeare's youngest daughter, Judith, who married in February of 1616 The other two sons, Richard and Thomas, died in 1639, at ages 21 and 19 respectively. They left no heirs. Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 and was buried in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church April 25.
