Shakespeare and Us: This England
Simon Schama explores the life and times of William Shakespeare to shed a new and fascinating light on some of the greatest plays ever written.
In film one, Schama discovers how in his history plays Shakespeare created a rich vision of the nation which still influences and inspires today, presenting not only preening kings and queens for his audience's pleasure but country squires, cutpurses, common prostitutes and of course, his iconic and irreverent embodiment of England, Sir John Falstaff.
