Summary: England is famous for is its vast array of poets and writers. Renowned as one of the greatest poets ever, Shakespeare was born in the Midlands, but it was in London where the flame of his future greatness kindled and burst into flame. He arrived in London's bawdy entertainment district and quickly conquered the hearts and minds of the Elizabethan audiences. Illustrated by dramatic reconstructions of late Elizabethan life and scenes from the plays themselves, this program presents the dark alleyways, alehouses, and churches that the poet knew, and which contributed to his greatest period of creativity: his time in London.
