In debt to two demanding producers, a young William Shakespeare is in desperate need of inspiration. His current production of Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter is floundering until he falls for Viola, a headstrong noblewoman with a huge secret. Hilarity ensues as their budding romance meets complications. Find out how Romeo and Ethel transformed into a timeless classic in the stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning romantic comedy, Shakespeare in Love.
What is actually known about the person of William Shakespeare is surprisingly little. So the notion of staging a play about the life of a man about whom we know so little might seem a bit odd.
