Shakespeare is the greatest writer the world has ever known. But we know nothing about him. Or do we? In a magical tour-de-force, Simon Callow tracks down the real William Shakespeare, bringing to life both the man and the unforgettable characters – lovers, kings, soldiers, clowns – who have since conquered the world’s stages.

Following the success of The Mystery Of Charles Dickens and Dr Marigold & Mr Chops, Callow – one of Britain’s best-loved actors – fills the stage with Shakespeare’s real and imagined words in his new show Shakespeare – The Man From Stratford.
