All the world, to Shakespeare (5)

I believe the answer is:

stage

(Other definitions for stage that I've seen before include "Performers' platform" , "Present; part of journey" , "Put on (a performance)" , "Phase; mount" , "Phase - platform" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily and the Universal.
