Question

Did Queen elizabeth support shakespeare?

Answer 1

Shakespeare's plays were admired by Elizabeth and were also popular with the royal family. Shakespeare's group performed several of his plays in front of Elizabeth I. It is believed that Elizabeth suggested the subjects of several of the plays that he wrote. During the last ten years of her reign, the Lord Chamberlain's Men performed at court thirty-two times, compared to thirty-seven performances by all other companies combined.

Fun Fact: William Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the nineteenth century, almost 200 years after Shakespear's time.
