Synopsis

In the heart of the 17th century, amidst the cobbled streets of London, a daring literary mission unfolded that would forever change the course of cultural history. Two steadfast colleagues of the legendary William Shakespeare embarked on an audacious quest to safeguard his legacy for future generations. With the world on the brink of losing The Bard’s genius, they meticulously collected his plays into the monumental "First Folio," preserving 18 masterpieces, including "Macbeth," "Twelfth Night," and "The Tempest," that had never graced the page before. This groundbreaking tome was the first to categorize Shakespeare’s works into comedies, histories, and tragedies, offering a new lens through which audiences could experience his timeless art.

Guided by the insightful narration of Shakespearean scholar Emma Smith, the documentary reveals the urgency felt by John Heminges and Henry Condell. They feared that without their intervention, the words of their dear friend might vanish into obscurity with his passing. Embark on this captivating journey, enriched by the evocative performances of Mark Rylance, Stephen Fry, and Roger Allam, as the film breathes life into the pages of history and celebrates a rescue that ensured the immortal voice of Shakespeare would echo through the ages.
