This four-part series explores the life of William Shakespeare and the turbulent times he witnessed. Presented by Michael Wood, the programs mix travel, adventure, interviews, and specially shot documentary and live-action sequences with the Royal Shakespeare Company on the road. Shakespeare witnessed firsthand England’s Cultural Revolution—an enforced split with the medieval Catholic Church which led the English people into a brave new Protestant future and, Wood argues, defined Shakespeare’s life. Closed captioned. Color. Total time: 240 minutes. PBS. ©2003.
