Will Shakespeare - The Complete Series (DVD)

Tim Curry gives a memorable performance in this classic six-part prestige drama from award-winning writer John Mortimer. Based around the sixteen years that William Shakespeare is known to have spent in London, each episode is built around the creation of a single play as Mortimer's skilful interweaving of known events and contemporary interpretation shows how key experiences may have inspired some of Shakespeare's greatest works.

Co-starring Ian McShane (as Marlowe), Paul Freeman, Meg Wynn Owen and Nicholas Clay, Will Shakespeare lavishly recreates the bustling taverns and theatres of Elizabethan London in which the frailties and strengths of one of the world's greatest dramatists are brought vividly to life.
