Put simply, he was the greatest poet and playwright of his and any other age; a genius whose work still brings joy to millions throughout the world.

Shakespeare's writings display an insight into the human character that few, if any, have been able to replicate, yet very little is known about the man himself. Where was he schooled? What was his profession before his success?

Featuring dramatised re-enactments from some of his most famous plays, this DVD is an entertaining and innovative glimpse into the world of the Bard of Avon.

It also includes comment from Brian Blessed and expert analysis from both Stanley Wells of the Shakespeare Institute and Robert Smallwood of the Shakespeare Centre Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Narrated by Terry Molloy
