Summary
In this program, Michael Wood uncovers Shakespeare's rise to fame and fortune in Elizabethan London, and the disasters in life and love that marked his path to greatness. We meet Queen Elizabeth's public enemy number one: the missionary and poet, Robert Southwell, who had challenged poets to return to God. But rejecting the plea to write religious poetry, Shakespeare pens Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, cementing his place as England's greatest popular playwright. Part of the series In Search of Shakespeare, with Michael Wood.
