Yorick is a school teacher who lives in Australia. He loves collecting armour, drawing and telling stories to his children, Lizzie and Felix.
He noticed that most only encountered the works of William Shakespeare when they had to study him at secondary school. Why can't there be more versions of his stories for people as young as Lizzie and Felix to enjoy?
