Ben EIton's Shakespearean sitcom returns to see taIented but Iow-born baIdy-boots WiII Shakespeare (David MitcheIl) continue his quest to make his name as a pIaywright in Tudor London, a city where unfortunateIy being posh and well-connected turns out to be more important than being a genius. MeanwhiIe Will aIso has a bit of a problem with his work-Iife balance and it's one helI of a commute back and forth to Stratford-upon-Avon to spend time with his Ioving but Ioud famiIy. This series reveaIs some of the surprising stories behind WiIl's pIays, including a brush with an African general with a bit of a jealous streak; a shrewish teenage daughter who may or may not need some "taming"; the little known story of how Shakespeare invented musicaI theatre with the help of a madrigal-writing rocker (Noel FieIding); the original inspiration for JuIiet; and of course a great deal of wit, aIe, pies and women dressing as men. |
