From what we know of his later life, it is clear that Shakespeare's connection with the theatre made him a wealthy man, since his plays attracted large audiences and he shared in the profits. Towards the end of the sixteenth century he bought a large property in Stratford. It is not certain when he went back there to live but it was probably around 1603. He is not recorded as having acted in any play after that date, though he continued writing. No less than eleven of his plays were produced during the next ten years. These include the great tragedies Othello, Macbeth and King Lear. His last work was The Tempest, but he may have shared in the writing of the historical play King Henry VIII.
Even after his retirement he frequently visited London.  Since the road between Stratford and London passed through Oxford, he would rest there at the home of his friend John Davenant, who had a deep respect and affection for the playwright.根据我们对莎士比亚后来生活的了解，可以清楚地知道，莎士比亚与剧院的密切关系让他变得非常富有，因为他创作的戏剧很受欢迎，并且他还分享了利润。 十六世纪末的时候，莎士比亚在家乡Stratford购买了一大块房产。 现在也不清楚他是什么时间回乡居住的，可能是在一六零三年。 从那以后，虽然他还在继续创作，但是没有他参演任何戏剧的记录。 在接下来的十年里，他创作的戏剧多达十一部，包括著名悲剧《奥赛罗》、《麦克白》和《李尔王》。 他最后一部作品是《暴风雨》，另外，他还有可能参与了历史剧《亨利八世》的创作。
　　　 甚至在退隐后，莎士比亚还常常去伦敦。 从Stratford 到伦敦去的路经过Oxford，所以莎士比亚常常在Oxford下车到他的朋友John Davenant的家中休息；John Davenant非常尊重和关心莎士比亚。
