		Heminges was born in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire in 1566.
		But the widow's father, John Heminges, seized control of his late son-in-law's shares in the Globe and Blackfriars theatres.
		Court documents relating to the King's Men generally list Heminges as the recipient of money due the company; the records of Henry Herbert indicate that Heminges at least sometimes served as the point of contact between the company and the Master of the Revels.

	[No title]
		John Heminges, actor-manager in Shakespeare's company, appears to have continued the tradition by selling alcohol at a low-class establishment directly attached to the Globe playhouse.
		Heminges was only 46 years when the Globe burnt down (Edmond 1996, 33), so we do not have to take at face value the adjectives "old" and "stuttering", nor the description of his eyes.
		If Heminges operated the first Globe's tap-house then this ballad would be an appropriate place for a mocking allusion to that sideline: the ballad follows the description of Heminges with an image of rainfall, and then reference to the ale-house, and to bladder strain.

		John's first recognition came in September 1556, within three years of the borough's incorporation, when he was chosen as one of its two ale-tasters — an office for 'able persons and discreet', whose duties were to check that bakers made loaves of regulation weight, and brewers 'wholesome' ales and beers at regulation prices.
		John Shakespeare contributed three shillings to a fund to assist victims of the plague, which did not abate until December, with the onset of the midwinter cold.
		And in 1571, John Shakespeare was present when his friend and successor as bailiff, Adrian Quiney, ordered the replacement of the chapel's stained-glass windows with clear panes, and the disposal of the popish capes and vestments still preserved in the chapel, if long since disused.

		Fortunately for posterity, John Heminges and Henry Condell, friends and colleagues of Shakespeare in the Lord Chamberlain’s and King’s companies, collected 36 of the plays now accepted as Shakespeare’s and published them in a handsome folio edition in 1623.
		Heminges and Condell promised that they were offering all the plays “cured and perfect of their limbs,” that is, purged of the errors that marred the early editions.
		The manuscripts supplied by Heminges and Condell for the printing of the 18 previously unpublished plays in the First Folio would most likely have been returned to the acting company after the book was in print.

	Falstaff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir John Falstaff is a fictional character who appears in three plays by William Shakespeare.
		Round and glorious, tradition holds that Shakespeare wrote the part for his second comedian, a fat man, John Heminges, who played a bold, bawdy humor of a John Candy sort.
		The character was apparently based on Sir John Oldcastle, historically known to be Prince Hal's companion.

		Of the plays supplied in manuscript, some of them in Shakespeare's own handwriting, five or six seem to have been sufficiently difficult to decipher for the publishers to commission the professional scribe Ralph Crane to prepare fresh transcripts, and even these were sometimes misread during typesetting.
		There were also two completely contradictory dedications to write, one assuring the Earls of Pembroke and Montgomery that the book owed its existence entirely to their feudal patronage, and the other telling 'the Great Variety of Readers' that it was a commercial venture, dependent solely on their purses: "read and censure.

		In the absence of the illiterate Shakspere and the presence of the literate John Heminges it is what Jackson and Johnson did, the same signature as in 1613 but bow on the deed.
		But in 1618 the third party was not William Shakespeare, it was John Heminges; he, too, put his signature on the deed.
		John Aubrey's never published notice is corroborated by the process of execution of the Blackfriars deeds: "and if invited to writ, he was in paine." And it is again corroborated by the history of his will in 1616.

		In 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death, his fellow actors John Heminges and Henry Condell put together a collection of his complete plays.
		Heminges and Condell were in a position to compile Shakespeare's complete plays, because they, like Shakespeare, worked for the King's Men, the London theatre company that produced all of Shakespeare's plays (in Elizabethan England, plays belonged to the company that performed them, not the dramatist who had written them).
		It ought to be simple, therefore, to say what Shakespeare wrote, and what he did not: the plays that were included in the First Folio must be by Shakespeare, and those that were excluded, must be by someone else.

		John Shakespeare moved his residence to the town of Stratford in 1552, when he set himself up as a whittawer and glover.
		John Shakespeare was elected alderman and high baliff of Stratford in 1568, which has led scholars to believe that Shakespeare himself was educated in a grammar school as a child - his knowledge of Latin and classical Greek literature certainly correspond to that assumption.
		John would have been able to enjoy the absence of tuition for William as a benefit of his position in Stratford.

	The Genres of Shakespeare's Plays
		Presenting the dramatic works of Shakespeare in the Folio of 1623, John Heminges and Henry Condell categorized them in the table of contents under 'Comedies', 'Histories', and 'Tragedies'.
		The history play, though its place alongside the other two was established by the early seventeenth century, had come forth much more recently, in the English popular theatre of the late 1580s and 1590s.
		One effect of the three-genre grouping chosen by Heminges and Condell for their late colleague's plays was perhaps to remind readers of the central role played by Shakespeare himself in developing, or even originating, the Elizabethan history play.

		Its two editors, John Heminges and Henry Condell, were actors in Shakespeare's company and therefore in a very good position to know the plays as they were performed on stage.
		Heminges and Condell would have been in the company, so would recognise it as being the 'final' theatrical state of the play, after Shakespeare had fine-tuned it, hence their inclusion of this version in the Folio.
