How did the personal life of Shakespeare have an effect on his writing? Using his Sonnets, a Swedish team has explored the Bard's early life. In order to create a musical they needed to first translate everything in Swedish and bringing it to the States they had to translate everything back into Swedish!

Jonas Nerbe and Jan-Erik Sääf, the lead actor and composer, of the new musical "William" talked to StageBuddy's Danielle Shade about bringing the Bard's sonnets to life, the challenges involved in bringing their show to the States and their plans for a Shakespearean tour next year.
