SHAKESPEARE

Synopsis

A collection of films made by the University of Warwick in conjunction with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust about the life and times of William Shakespeare. In this film Paul Edmondson, Director of Learning and Research at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, invites the University of Warwick’s Professor Carol Rutter to explore the new archaeological dig in the grounds of William Shakespeare’s last home, New Place in Stratford upon Avon. The project aims to locate any remains of the 16th century house and discover what life was like for Shakespeare and his family. The film provides a first look at some of the finds discovered on the site including evidence of Tudor life that may have been owned by Shakespeare.
