William Shakespeare : the extraordinary life of the most successful writer of all time

The photographic team which has put this project together has scoured the country for original venues, unchanged since Shakespeare's time, to give a reconstruction of the key stages of his life and times - the bawdiness, the passion, the perils of plague, and the spectacle of public execution.

All this is brought to life through colour photographs, so that the world's most successful writer is revealed as a living, breathing person.
