His is the most famous name in the history of playwriting. From Romeo and Juliet to Hamlet to Macbeth, Shakespeares timeless works continue to play on four centuries after his time. Hear from two contemporary playwrights who are bringing little-known true stories inspired by the Bard into the light of the 21st century. From scandalous forgeries to a street performance duel with historic consequences, playwrights Jeffrey Couchman and Deborah Brevoort transport us through time as we visit historical figures who took the good Bards legacy into their own hands.
