A brief biography of the Bard beginning and ending in Stratford. After grammar school and marriage to Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare goes to London and gets a job tending the horses during performances at Burbage’s Blackfriar’s Theatre, is promoted to prompter, and soon writes his first play to be staged, I Henry VI. Success as a writer, actor, and part owner of the Globe comes quickly. The film imagines Shakespeare as lonely and melancholy, with the romantic and doomed love of “Romeo and Juliet” as his favorite work. |
