The internet’s been around since 1500; Churchill’s tweets, Christie’s search history, and Byron’s nudes are all sitting in an archive. Do you really want to know about Shakespeare?

When two aspiring museum curators get the chance to pitch a new exhibition about Shakespeare, it’s the biggest career opportunity they’ve ever had. But with thousands of data points in Shakespeare’s digital footprint, it’s hard to know where to begin. For Ben it's easy: the plays – does anything else really matter? But Kate doesn’t think it’s so simple.

When their research unearths a shocking revelation, they’re forced to confront their own beliefs about separating the art from the artist and what they’re willing to risk to reveal (or hide) the truth.

Do You Want to Know? takes in the extinction of secrets in a post-internet age, to ask: what if the greatest literary mystery of our time was not a mystery at all? Is more information always better? And how will we be remembered by future generations?

If you ever wanted a Black Mirror episode about Shakespeare, this is the show for you.

“This is a young company showing real promise in their writing, performing and the scope of their ideas. A show seen from the future about a reimagined Shakespearean era where they had the internet, all written with Stoppardian sass and tension? Yes please…” – Will Adamsdale, Exeter Phoenix Scratch Night Producer

“This is a genuinely inventive piece of witty new writing that takes a comical deep dive into how society dictates the historical lens and remembers its icons… You’re unlikely to find a more unique approach to the life of Shakespeare!” – Katy Danbury, Exeter Phoenix Performance Programmer
