Best Answer

Absolutely not. The Globe Theatre regularly (and by this I mean daily) drew 3000 people to its performances, and there were a half-dozen or more playhouses as big as or (in the case of The Fortune) bigger than the Globe. That means 10 or 20 thousand people watching plays every day in a London which was much much smaller than it is now. That meant that there had to be theatre companies in each theatre and each company was looking for new material. Shakespeare was not the only person writing plays in his day; he was one of dozens. Kyd, Marlowe, Jonson, Greene, Massinger, Middleton, Webster, Beaumont, and Fletcher are just the most famous of these playwrights.
