abstract:Will Shakespeare, also known as Life of Shakespeare and William Shakespeare: His Life & Times, was a 1978 historical drama series created and written by John Mortimer. Broadcast in six parts, the series is a dramatisation of the life and times of the great poet William Shakespeare played by Tim Curry, and was co-produced by Lew Grade's ATV and RAI and distributed internationally by ITC.
Under an overhaul of the national curriculum in England, 14- to 16-year-olds will study two Shakespeare plays, rather than the one currently required, while seven- to 11-year-olds will learn about the playwright in history lessons.
