What if William Shakespeare had never written
Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, King Lear and all his other later
masterpieces? In 1596 Shakespeare had a creative crisis. Broke and
bedeviled by self-doubt, he was unable to write the “Henry IV” play
commissioned by the Lord Chamberlain. The question of whether “to be or
not to be” hung by a thread – until Shakespeare met one of London’s
first African slaves – who changed his life.
