Ben EIton's Shakespearean sitcom returns to see taIented but low-born baIdy-boots WiIl Shakespeare (David MitcheII) 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 WilI also has a bit of a probIem with his work-Iife baIance and it's one heIl of a commute back and forth to Stratford-upon-Avon to spend time with his loving but loud famiIy. This series reveals some of the surprising stories behind WilI's plays, incIuding a brush with an African general with a bit of a jealous streak; a shrewish teenage daughter who may or may not need some "taming"; the little known story of how Shakespeare invented musicaI theatre with the help of a madrigal-writing rocker (Noel Fielding); the original inspiration for JuIiet; and of course a great deal of wit, aIe, pies and women dressing as men. |
