Summary:
"Published in 1609, William Shakespeare's collection of 154 sonnets comprises the greatest lyric sequence of poems in world literature. At the centre of this sonnet sequence lies a mystery that has endured for 400 years. 126 of these sonnets are addressed to a “Fair Youth” (Tom Sturridge - Pirate Radio) and 26 are addressed to a “Dark Lady” (Indira Varma - Rome). What fair youth inspired such passion and who was Shakespeare's dark lady? A Waste of Shame is a lushly filmed, intriguing drama about the passionate and destructive love triangle that consumed Shakespeare (Rupert Graves - V for Vendetta) in his troubled middle years -- adapting some of the most celebrated, sexual, raw and venomous love poems ever written. A graphic depiction of 16th Century English life, exhibiting the filth, the plague and the bawdy promiscuity, the drama also stars Zoë Wanamaker (My Family) and Anna Chancellor (MI-5)."--Container.
