The Lost Years

Description

In this program, Michael Wood explores conflicting theories of how Shakespeare spent the ten years between his marriage to Anne Hathaway and his emergence as a star writer in London. Other than the birth of his three children, there is no factual detail available, but as this film reveals, there are some very intriguing clues. Wood uses Tudor maps, guidebooks, parish records, and recently rediscovered Victorian photos to pinpoint the street where Shakespeare first lived, the inns where he first drank, and the "winding lane" he walked down each day.
