| Description: |
Takes the written record of Shakespears' last wishes as a starting point for exploring his eventful yet mysterious life. This work probes the individual phrases to reveal what we can piece together about Shakespeare the writer and the man - his friends and family, his lovers, the places where he lived, and, the theatres where he made his name. |
| Synopsis: |
The original will - one of the National Archives' most prized treasures - is reproduced in full, with a transcript for modern readers. Individual phrases are probed with a light, entertaining touch to reveal what we can piece together about Shakespeare the writer and the man - his friends and family, his lovers, the places where he lived, his beliefs, his growing wealth and, of course, the theatres where he made his name. The result is a fascinating, freewheeling journey into a life (and death) with tantalizingly few facts and room for intriguing conjecture. |
