Students will enjoy the quirky characters and upbeat analysis that feature in the program. If 'all the world's a stage' then Trevor Kervis must be the clown.

It is a riveting exploration of the circumstances that led to the penning of Macbeth and The Tempest - a play often seen as his farewell to the stage.
