[edit] Information

Long before she set foot on stage in England, Felicity Kendal launched her acting career in India, where her parents ran a theatre company called Shakespeareana. Here she returns to the land of her childhood to discover the full story of India's enduring love-affair with Shakespeare - from the first days of Empire to Bollywood and beyond. Shaped by her enthusiasm to discover more about a drama in which her own family played a role, Felicity's journey takes her to India's iconic cities and to places far off the beaten track. Along the way she meets film stars and prisoners, kings and market traders, schoolchildren, historians and her own relatives, and sees how Shakespeare's plays are inspiring a new generation of artists and film-makers in modern India.
