About the Project
A tenacious fashion photographer turned literary sleuth unravels the hidden web of influences behind Shakespeare's genius.
An unexpected detective driven by an unshakable conviction, she becomes obsessed with uncovering the overlooked figures in Shakespeare's world.
Her mission: to illuminate the Bard's circle and redefine our understanding of genius itself.
Fueled by a decade of meticulous research, she delves deep into the literary underworld of Elizabethan England, armed with the tenacity of a journalist and the eye of an artist.
Her quest: to answer the burning questions that have tantalized scholars for centuries. How is genius created? What alchemical fusion of nature, nurture, and adversity's crucible forges a mind of such prodigious capacity?
As she pulls back the curtain of time, a cast of England's finest Shakespearean actors breathes life into the characters she unearths. The unsung influencers—rivals, lovers, mentors—who shaped the greatest mind in the English language.
In a journey where fact proves more incredible than fiction, our unlikely sleuth challenges everything we thought we knew about Shakespeare. She argues that to truly understand the man, we must first understand his world—a world teeming with intrigue, passion, and untold stories.
More than a documentary; it's a revolution in how we perceive genius, creativity, and the power of human connection, rewriting history one hidden figure at a time.
