Summary
This program begins in 16th century England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth and the beginning of a cultural revolution. It was an age marked by the battle of conscience and power and, eventually, by Civil War. Through historic documents we discover that contrary to popular belief, William Shakespeare was born to a wealthy family and as a child received a rather privileged education. Yet as a teenager, his world is turned upside down when his family is persecuted for believing in the Pope under the Queen's strictly Protestant rule and he is forced to go to work and leave school. At 18, Shakespeare becomes a father and a husband and we find that a love poem to his wife would become his first known work. Meanwhile, his family's trouble with the Protestants escalates, leading to a feud with the wealthy Lucy family.
