three younger brothers. Growing up in Stratford-upon-Avon William lived in a
house with his big family on Henley Street. He went to the local grammar school
where he learned about poetry, history, Greek, and Latin.
After William and Anne had the twins, there are no records
of the next several years of his life. Historians often refer to these years as
the "lost years." There are lots…stories about what William was doing
during this time.

Chamberlain's Men. An acting company in England at this time worked together to
put on plays. … Young boys typically played women's roles as women were not
allowed to act.
