William Kempe was an actor, mainly of comic roles, in Shakespeare’s plays during their first performances in the Elizabethan era. He left the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the company of which he and Shakespeare were members, in 1599 following a disagreement. A year later in 1600 he completed what was known as his Nine Days Wonder, when he morris danced from London to Norwich in an attempt to garner publicity and revive his career.
