Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and Happy Valley star Sarah Lancashire are embarking on an ambitious project that will tell the life story of William Shakespeare.

The ambitious project, which will be written by Steven Knight and produced by Sarah Lancashire's production company Via Pictures, aims to provide a comprehensive look at the life of the 'glove-maker's son who became the greatest storyteller in history'.

The series will explore the passion, people and politics that helped make Shakespeare the world's most famous dramatist, along with the men and women around him who 'loved and laboured, schemed and plotted, killed and connived in one of the most dangerous periods in history'.

Sarah and Steven are currently developing the drama series with Banijay U.K.’s Kudos and Via Pictures, which will be produced out of Steven's Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham.

Sarah, who recently wrapped up her long-running role on Happy Valley, expressed her excitement towards the project, saying that it is a 'thrilling project about a golden age beset by plague, Puritanism and deadly politics'.

Steven added that he is 'excited to be embarking on what will be a landmark TV production telling the dramatic story of the world’s most accomplished writer'.
