Synopsis:

Michael Pennington has spent over 20,000 hours performing and working with Shakespeare. Loosely based on his popular one-man show, Pennington illustrates the little we know about Shakespeare's childhood, early marriage, his roles as an actor, with wonderfully apt quotations from the works.

'If I weren't a Shakespearean junkie, Pennington would have turned me into one' – John Peter, Sunday Times

'As well-rounded a portrait of Shakespeare as you could hope for' – Michael Billington, Guardian
