Right after he leaves school, the times between 1578-1582 is named as the Lost Years of Shakespeare. Where our beloved poet is hiding away from humanity. Okay, not really. Written records of his whereabouts and the things he did in the few years were not exactly easy to find. One of the few records was in a church showing that he got married in 1582 to a local farmer's daughter named Anne Hathway.

Of course, all good things have to end...no he did not die. A plague spread around and caused the theatre life to be halted for some time. While that was going on, Shakespeare was able to write some of his most delicate works. After the plague ended, he completely emerged into his career in about 1594, when he became part of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. It was a very popular acting company, in fact it was actually one of two! With being with them, he even performed numerous of times for the queen of England, queen Elizabeth I. With being a part of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare had to do his part in helping the world of acting come all together and wonderfully.
