Shakespeare before the court of Queen Elizabeth. It is documented that Queen Elizabeth was a big fan of the playwright, but, for centuries people, have questioned if the pair ever actually came face to face. William Shakespeare (died 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".
