There is no doubt that William Shakespeare was one of the greatest playwrights of any age. But what did he really look like? Could a painting now in Canadian hands actually be the true countenance of the quintessential English bard? BATTLE OF WILLS is the intriguing story of a painting that is confounding the art world. Lloyd Sullivan believes he owns the only portrait of Shakespeare done from life, and that it was created in 1603 by an ancestor of his named Sanders who was part of Shakespeare's troupe. Thirteen scientific tests have proven that the Sanders portrait is an authentic 17th century work. But is it Shakespeare? Sullivan is risking his lifetime's savings to prove that it is.
