All the World's a Stage

How did theatre begin and why is it important to us? All the World's a Stage is a landmark arts documentary series that aims to answer these crucial questions, drawing on five years' filming and research across thirteen countries. Encompassing everything from Ancient Greek drama to Broadway musicals, the series explores theatre's origins and development around the world. Its writer and presenter, Ronald Harwood, is himself a playwright; in All the World's a Stage, he complements his own experiences of theatre with insights from actors, other writers, directors, technicians and critics.
