Shakes – The Life and Legacy of William Shakespeare explores the man behind the world’s greatest plays. Join host Ggreg Snyder for a journey through Shakespeare’s life, works, and afterlife — from Stratford-upon-Avon to the London stage, from the first quill scratch of Henry VI to the immortal words that still shape English today.
Each episode blends biography, history, and performance — bringing the Bard’s world to life in roughly chronological order. Once we reach the final act of his life, the story continues with his legacy: the rediscovery, the reverence, and the revival that made Shakespeare the voice of every age.
