Description: In 1616 a well-to-do gentleman in sleepy Stratford-upon-Avon signed his last will and testament-the only record of his signature we now possess. Later than year he was dead. So William Shakespeare shuffled off his mortal coil, leaving to posterity an immortal body of words and a constant headache for biographers. Will's Will takes the written record of Shakespeare's last wishes as a starting point for exploring his eventful yet mysterious life.
