Coming exclusively to TNT this summer, Will tells the wild story of young William Shakespeare's (Laurie Davidson) 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.
But amidst this, the story of Shakespeare's struggle with being taken seriously as a writer, despite his lower-class family and social upbringing, takes centre stage.
