Description

William Shakespeare's life and works are often shrouded in mystery. This book offers a fresh perspective on the playwright's domestic and professional life, revealing the stories behind his most famous plays. In 1590s London, Shakespeare is struggling to find success as a playwright. His rivals mock him, and at home, he faces challenges from his teenage daughter. Yet, it is in these moments of turmoil that inspiration strikes, leading to breakthroughs in his writing. With wit and wordplay, Ben Elton explores the trials and tribulations of Shakespeare's closest friends and family, shedding new light on some of his most celebrated plays. Through a sparkling narrative, this book celebrates Shakespeare's life and works, offering a unique insight into the playwright's creative process.
