Newsround’s Leah Gooding and Ricky Boleto explore Shakespeare’s world. They discover that he was born into an age of exploration; but they were dangerous times, too. They also find out that, even though the world was becoming smaller, people still believed in old superstitions, and that Shakespeare was able to take witches, ghosts, spirits and the concept of Destiny and weave them into something special – plays that were enjoyed by everyone, rich or poor.

The film features 'Macbeth', 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' and includes performance extracts from Globe Education’s Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank.
