Bill film synopsis

With all the murder, intrigue and romance of a play by William Shakespeare, Horrible Histories' film focusses on what historians called the 'Lost Years' of the writer's life, exploring how a lowly lute player known as Bill leaves Stratford-Upon-Avon to follow his dreams in London and becomes the illustrious William Shakespeare.

The core cast of six actors, headed by Matthew Bayton as Bill, mimic the role-swapping Elizabethan theatre and play a total of 40 parts to riotous comic effect. And the starry supporting cast includes Homeland's Damian Lewis and his wife Helen McCrory.
