- Life of William Shakespeare Around 1568, a group of actors visited Stratford and put on a play before the entire town, with permission from John Shakespeare, the mayor of the town.

Other actors in Shakespeare's company included Will Kempe, the most popular comic of his time, and Richard Burbage, son of James Burbage, the designer of The Theatre.
