Wrote nearly forty plays.But what was he like as a man? What did he think about when he rode into London for the first time . . . or when he was writing his plays Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet . . . or when his only son died?We know the facts of his life, but we can only guess at his hopes, his fears, his dreams.
