Synopsis
Young William Shakespeare is forced to stage his latest comedy, “Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter,” before it’s even written. When lovely noblewoman Viola de Lesseps auditions for a role, they fall into forbidden love—and Shakespeare’s play finds a new life and title. As their relationship intensifies, the comedy soon transforms into tragedy.
