Hilarious. Exciting. Romantic. This screen-to-stage story follows young William Shakespeare struggling with a spell of writer’s block. With the deadline for his newest play fast approaching, Will is desperate for inspiration — until he discovers the perfect muse. Viola is a radiant and intelligent young woman who will do anything to be on stage, even if it means breaking the law. Through their many theatrical adventures, Will’s love for Viola grows quickly and passionately, ultimately inspiring him to write his greatest romance yet.
