| Summary |
Simon Schama explores the life and times of William Shakespeare to shed a new and fascinating light on some of the greatest plays ever written. Film two explores Shakespeare's attitude to kings, and how his great tragedies, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear, reveal not only what lies behind the mask of royalty, but truths about the rest of us too. Throughout, an extraordinary cast of actors including Judi Dench, Simon Russell Beale, Tobias Menzies, Roger Allam and Harriet Walter deliver some of Shakespeare's most moving and profound soliloquies |
