Wood explains how Shakespeare became a star of the London stage.
Michael Wood explains how Shakespeare became a star of the London
stage, and uncovers a tale of religious conflict behind his lost
years. Wood travels with the Royal Shakespeare Company, who perform
the plays in a Tudor inn yard as Shakespare's company did, and
using Tudor maps and remarkable Victorian photos, he brings
Shakespeare's first London home back to life. He also follows
Shakespeare's great rival, Christopher Marlowe, on his fateful
journey by river to Deptford and the murder that left 29-year-old
William the star of Elizabethan London.
