Shakespeare 2000

Synopsis
Radio documentary. From the Sir John Falstaff Goblet Collection to the complete plays on CD Rom, Shakespeare is alive in multitudinous ways. But in what state is the English national poet at the new millenniun? Who creates Shakespeare in 1999? What does he mean as a dramatist at the National Theatre compared to the Globe: why was he chosen as the hologram for credit cards and how much is he worth to the tourist trade, or to the scholars, actors and teachers who spend their lives with him? Peter Holland investigates.
