Description
Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce explore the Elizabethan philosophy of "live fast, die young, and leave a pox-ridden corpse," and how it's the same force that drives any third world country or poverty stricken area today; the need to accomplish and do things "now" because there might not be a tomorrow! Craig shares the six-week trip to India that inspired his writing on Will, and also provides a detailed, behind-the-scenes look at the 5 acre backlot at the studio in Wales that became the show's muddy streets of London. You'll also discover more details about Will's set design, and the full scale theater interior built for Shakespeare's company.
