Will
Created by Craig Pearce
On TNT
A high-energy, anachronistic dramatization of Shakespeare's youth as a reckless punk-rock artist navigating a violent, seductive theatrical underworld.
The wild story of young William Shakespeare's arrival onto the punk-rock theater scene in 16th century London -- the seductive, violent world where his raw talent faced rioting audiences, religious fanatics and raucous side-shows. It's a contemporary version of Shakespeare's life, played to a modern soundtrack that exposes all his recklessness, lustful temptations and brilliance.
