1599: Globe Theater

We, Lord Chamberlain's Men, are now the most famous acting troupe in London! Yes!

Around this time, I wrote three different types of plays:
1) The Classical plays
2) The History plays
3) Experiments in comedy

I have already written the following:
Romeo and Juliet (probably 1595)
Richard II (probably 1595)
Midsummer Night's Dream (probably written in late 1594 or 1595)
King John (probably 1596)
The Merchant of Venice (1596-97)
Henry IV plays (probably 1597-98)
Much Ado About Nothing (1599)
As You Like It (probably 1599)
The Merry Wives of Windsor (probably 1599)
Henry V (probably 1599)
Julius Caesar (probably 1599)

I could've died at this point and still be considered one of the greatest playwrights of all time. But I didn't!
