Shakespeare in London

Follow William Shakespeare through 16th and 17th Century London, as the bard created many of the most important works ever written. This incredible period is a source of continued fascination and was portrayed in 1998's Academy Award-winning Best Picture, Shakespeare in Love, also dramatized in 2006's Elizabeth I, an Emmy Award-winning television miniseries, and NOW a new feature film starring Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth, The Golden Age. The story begins with the first written documentation of Shakespeare in London - his life on the bank of the River Thames, against the dramatic backdrop of the New Globe Playhouse. The Virgin Queen Elizabeth I sits upon the throne and Christopher Marlowe (famous poet and playwright) is at the height of his popularity, but there are rumblings in the theatre awning... of a young upstart who has stolen ideas from the undisputed master!
