Dave CohenHOST
Over the course of his entire career, Shakespeare's playwriting can be described roughly as falling into two parts.
Dave CohenHOST
The first is characterised mainly by the famous English history plays, including Richard's Two and Three and Henry's Four, Five and Six, and the lighter comedies such as Midsummer Night's Dream, Comedy of Errors and Much Ado About Nothing, what we might call his Elizabethan period.
Dave CohenHOST
The second part, very roughly, is where the great tragedies reside.
Dave CohenHOST
Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and King Lear are all later in his writing career, and most of these are written after King James I has ascended the throne.
Tom StoppardGUEST
But the film is about Shakespeare as a young man who's written his early plays.
Tom StoppardGUEST
And he did write Comedy of Errors, for example, which can be established as being early.
Tom StoppardGUEST
And it's about a young man who's got writer's block.
Tom StoppardGUEST
And he's trying to write a comedy, which at that time is called Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter.

Beverly ScottNARRATOR
Weren't you perfectly astonished when you found out how many other plays there were of his? I always thought there was nothing but Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth and Richard III and King Lear and that one that Robson and Crane have.
Beverly ScottNARRATOR
Oh, yes, Comedy of Errors.
Beverly ScottNARRATOR
So you see how ridiculous this young girl, by the betrayal of such ignorance, made herself in conversation with a cultured young gentleman whose good opinion she was most anxious to win.
Beverly ScottNARRATOR
And yet, to talk too much about books is not well.
