Leonardo Vinci: La Partenope [Video] [DVD]

This series from the BBC investigates the plays written by the legendary William Shakespeare during the tumultuous reign of King James I. As the era was marked by profound social changes and turbulent relationships among the royals, Shakepeare's work ("King Lear", "Macbeth", and "The Tempost", among others} appears to mirror the non-fiction of the time.
