TNT’s ‘Will’ is latest in Shakespeare-inspired television

by Susan Pierce ·July 17, 2017

If you thought you'd heard the last of William Shakespeare when you passed high school English, think again. The Bard is back this summer, wielding noticeable influence in TV pop culture.

A detail of the newly discovered portrait of William Shakespeare, presented by the Shakespeare Birthplace trust, is seen in central London, Monday March 9, 2009. The portrait, believed to be almost the only authentic image of the writer made from life, has belonged to one family for centuries but was not recognized as a portrait of Shakespeare until recently. There are very few likenesses of Shakespeare, who died in 1616. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)

Angel Snow wrote three songs on Alison Krauss's album "Paper Airplane" with Kruass's brother, Viktor. "He played guitar and I wrote the melody and lyrics," she says.

The Signal Mountain Playhouse board made an ambitious choice for the 46th annual summer musical - ambitious in its set requiring a fantasy-filled chocolate factory and ambitious in the fact that five of the six leads are children who have to sing, dance and act.

The five golden ticket winners are, from left, Grayson Davis as Augustus Gloop, Maggie Meller as Veruca Salt, Zachary Huseman as Charlie Bucket, Molly Burnett as Violet Beauregarde, and Noah Huseman as Mike Teavee. Behind them is Greg Glover, starring as Willy Wonka. (Photo by Amy Meller)
