King John by William Shakespeare

Under the rule of King John, England is forced into war when the French challenge the legitimacy of John's claim to the throne and determine to install his nephew Arthur in his place. And as the desire to cling to power dominates England's paranoid and weak-willed king, his country is threatened with disaster.

William Shakespeare was born in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon and died in 1616. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.

Stanley Wells is Emeritus Professor of the University of Birmingham and Honorary President of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

Robert Smallwood was Head of Education at the Shakespeare Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon and is now an Honorary Fellow of the Shakespeare Institute of the University of Birmingham.
