In England before the late 1500s,many actors traveled. They went in small bands from town to town.In the town ,they performed in the courtyards of inns or taverns. These actors gave shows with plays, songs, and dances. These kinds of shows became very popular. Special theaters resembling inn courtyards were even built!.This was the beginning of the golden age of Elizabethan theater. (Elizabethan I was the Queen of England at that time).One of the most popular playwrights of this time was William Shakespeare. Some people think he may be the greatest playwrights in any language. He wrote plays for everyone. Most of the people had simple ways and not much education. This didn't stop them from really loving his plays.The golden age of Elizabethan theater lasted through the 1600s. This period was a golden age of theater for Spain and France as well. Thousands of plays were written and performed. Some of these were tragedies, but most were comedies. There were also many satires. Satires are plays that make fun of someone and something in order to highlight a problem. Often, a satire is about a country's leader. Many of the plays written at this time are still enjoyed today.
