This month of November 2023, marks 400 years since the publication of the “First Folio” of William Shakespeare, seven years after his death. The works of William Shakespeare would have been lost without this one important piece of work.

On the 8th of November 2023, the BBC will be celebrating the life, times and the extraordinary work of the great playwright William Shakespeare, across all it channels, with contributions of the actors and experts of today. There will be documentaries, performances, music, drama, comedy, news coverage and the treasures from the BBC archives, related to William Shakespeare and his brilliant literary works.
