More Details

Summary:

Host Joseph Fiennes takes us back to the source - an Italian story translated into English when Shakespeare was a boy. Shakespeare adapted and dramatized the Italian poem, and other writers have been adapting him for centuries ever since. Examine why it remains the most-performed of all Shakespeare plays, and the hopeful message coming from the tragic ending, one about the eternal power of love.
