Jeremy Irons prefers Shakespeare to 'Abbey' Gary Levin, USA TODAY

The actor is among the stars who will delve into the Bard's most compelling characters for PBS.

PBS is telling tales behind some of Shakespeare's greatest plays.

Shakespeare Uncovered, produced by New York's WNET, is a three-week, six-episode project featuring stars who've played celebrated characters exploring what's behind them. It kicks off Jan. 25 with Ethan Hawke exploring Macbeth and Joely Richardson delving into the playwright's comedies. Jeremy Irons tackles Henry IVand V on Feb. 1, and other episodes feature Hamlet, The Tempest and Richard II. Each episode mixes performances, history, analysis, and the actors speaking passionately about their roles as they trek to sites imagined or visited by the author.

"One of the reasons why Shakespeare shines as the greatest dramatist of all time is he was writing about the human condition," Irons says. "Jealousy, envy or unrequited love, or the relationship between family members. It's something that hasn't changed. So when we see those plays now they still speak to us, they have a resonance, (while) hundreds of plays written since then don't."
