Young playwright Will Shakespeare is stuck. He is overdue in finishing his latest play. He finds his muse in Viola de Lesseps, who is driven to do anything to fulfill her dream of performing onstage, where no women are permitted. Surrounded by familiar players, including Queen Elizabeth herself, backstage antics collide with onstage dramas. Will and Viola’s passionate, forbidden love affair goes on to inspire Shakespeare’s masterpiece—the most romantic tragedy ever written.
