		Shakespeare is buried in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon.

		Television inherently creates an intimacy between the viewer and the actors -- the subtleties of individual performances are generally evident.
		Martin Banham goes even further: When a television (or, to be fair, a film) director cuts to a particular character, or comes into a close-up, or otherwise shapes our images of one action, he is intruding his own interpretation of what is significant between the action and the spectator.
		Quite the contrary, many Shakespeare films are true to the spirit of the plays from which they were derived, but the importance of Shakespeare's language alters the dynamics of television as a cinematic subgenre.

	Shakespeare FAQ
		If you're new to Shakespeare, the question might seem odd, but since we're talking about people who lived four centuries ago, before photo IDs, thumbprints, and databases, the actual identity of this author is open to debate (or not, depending on whom in the authorship debate you listen to.).
		This ambitious project was the brainchild of BBC producer Cedric Messina, who was to become one of the three producers of the series itself (along with Jonathan Miller and Shaun Sutton).
		One of the reasons that Shakespeare has maintained his popularity across the centuries with scholars, actors, and the general public alike is the level of depth and complexity he breathes into his characters.
