Learn About This Master of Literature

Actors: Tim Curry, Ian McShane, Nicholas Clay, Paul Freeman, John McEnery

Spanning the 16 controversial years of Shakespeare's life in London, this series explores the unique genius of the greatest writer in the world.

Amazon Review: Tim Curry is truly wonderful in his portrayal of William Shakespeare. The 6 tape set focuses on the life of Shakespeare, from his humble beginning being from a poor family in Stratford Upon Avon; to going to London (and seems to be hiding from his wife and children), to a talented playwrite. On his way to being famous, he is befriended by the Earl of Southampton, lives through the black plague, some personal tragedies, and writes some of the best plays and poems of all time. Tim does age in this from a handsome young and middle age Shakespeare to the balding Shakespeare that we have all seen depicted in our English Literature books in High School. This movie is extremely hard to find and quite expensive, but well worth the time put into finding it and the money spent to buy it.
