Synopsis

A young William Shakespeare is pressured to stage his newest comedy, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," before the script exists. When the captivating noblewoman Viola de Lesseps tries out for a role, an illicit romance ignites between them, reshaping the incomplete play and even inspiring a new name. As their passion deepens, the lighthearted production slowly slides into sorrow and catastrophe.
