QUEEN ELIZABETH: Can a play show us the very truth and nature of love?
Young Will Shakespeare is in a rut. He’s plagued by writer’s block and a pile of debts, and his latest play-Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter-is going nowhere fast. But when he meets Viola de Lesseps, a noblewoman with a passion for the theatre, inspiration strikes. Viola disguises herself as a man to perform onstage, sparking a passionate love affair and a breakthrough for Shakespeare’s work.
Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard
Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall
Directed by Sarah Rodgers
