A made-for-television biography of William Shakespeare.

A nice, "white-bread" bio of the famous playwright. While the bio starts out by letting the viewer know that there isn't much known about the man himself, there doesn't seem to be any serious, in-depth search to discover the man through his words.

There is NO mention of critical response to the suggestion that he didn't actually write some of the works attributed to him.

While I did learn one or two things about Shakespeare, I don't think it was anything more than what an undergrad might pick up in a text book at a community college.
