Biography

Hosted by Michael Wood, this complete four part
series exploring the life of the world's greatest and most famous
writer. Presenter-led, mixing travel, adventure, live action interviews
and specially shot documentary and live action sequences with the RSC on
the road.

A history series - it focuses not on the plays, but on
the history and sets the life of the poet in the extraordinary times in
which he lived. We are introduced to the dark world of Queen
Elizabeth's police state - a time of surveillance, militarism and
foreign wars. We are reminded that Shakespeare lived through the Spanish
Armada, the Gunpowder Plot, the colonisation of the New World and the
beginnings of British power in America. But most importantly Shakespeare
also lived through England’s Cultural Revolution: an enforced split
with the old medieval English spirit world which was to lead the English
people into a brave new Protestant future. A split which defined
Shakespeare’s life -and our modern world.

Review
The
BBC series In Search of Shakespeare could be the English
teacher's most important ally yet. With his typical mixture of intensive
research, detective work, boyish enthusiasm and popular appeal,
television historian Michael Wood comes closer than anyone to bringing
the Bard to life. There are some astonishing discoveries along the way,
which help to give a documentary cohesion to Shakespeare's story. But
Wood is never arrogant enough to claim to have pinned the playwright's
character down. The ifs, buts and maybes are all part of the
fascination. The man himself remains tantalisingly just out of reach,
which is probably as it should be.

Instead, Wood takes us on an
exhilarating journey through Elizabethan and Jacobean England, building a
picture of his subject through painstaking reference to the climate of
the age: a police state in which Shakespeare's family was devastated by
the persecution of Catholics. Social, familial and political influences
are all unravelled and pieced together, counterpointed with scenes from
the plays--RSC actors conveniently to hand--and the life and times of
the travelling actor and playwright are evoked in front of our eyes,
becoming tangible and relevant.

Wood gives us the chance to
consider the plays in context, products of a great mind living in
interesting times, rather than in academic isolation. It's a compelling
tale, full of bloody danger, sex, celebrity and social history, and
densely packed with layers of detail. Wood's great gift is to tell it in
such an accessible way and without the sense of superiority that some
of his peers bring to popular history. --Piers Ford
