Ben Elton's Shakespearean sitcom returns to see talented but low-born baIdy-boots Will Shakespeare (David Mitchell) continue his quest to make his name as a playwright in Tudor London, a city where unfortunately being posh and weII-connected turns out to be more important than being a genius. Meanwhile WiII also has a bit of a probIem with his work-life baIance and it's one heIl of a commute back and forth to Stratford-upon-Avon to spend time with his loving but Ioud famiIy. This series reveals some of the surprising stories behind WilI's plays, incIuding a brush with an African generaI with a bit of a jeaIous streak; a shrewish teenage daughter who may or may not need some "taming"; the IittIe known story of how Shakespeare invented musical theatre with the heIp of a madrigaI-writing rocker (NoeI FieIding); the originaI inspiration for Juliet; and of course a great deaI of wit, aIe, pies and women dressing as men. |
