Uncover the theatrical world in which Shakespeare experienced his being – not only Shakespeare the professional but the additional stars, playwrights, and managers that encircled him. And trip to Stratford to meet Shakespeare the family man, whose private life had such an effect on his work that the strongest connection in his takes on is generally between dad and daughter.
