BOOK SYNOPSIS In 1587, when William Shakespeare was twenty-three, the acting troupe Queen s Men played in his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon with one player short. Shakespeare s childhood fascination with theater suddenly found a perfect outlet -- he joined the Queen s Men and replaced the missing actor. Shortly thereafter young William traveled to London in pursuit of an acting career. But acting soon gave way to an even more glorious adventure when Shakespeare realized that he might have a talent for writing plays. Setting the playwright in context to his personal life, social, historical and political events, other writers of influence, and more, you will quickly gain a deep understanding of Shakespeare and the plays he wrote. Read Shakespeare in an Hour and experience his plays like never before. Know the playwright, love the play!
