Shakespeare in Love

3 July 2023–8 July 2023

Main House

Synopsis

Will Shakespeare has a new play… although he’s yet to write any of the words.

Living in the shadow of Christopher Marlowe, deserted by his muse and obstructed by writer’s block, Will struggles to find the words he needs for his new epic: Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate’s Daughter. Viola De Lesseps longs to be an actor… unfortunately, women are forbidden to be on stage. Promised to the stuffy Lord Wessex and beholden to her father’s (and the Queen’s) expectations, she disguises herself as a boy and auditions for Will’s new play.

The chance encounter between the two becomes the inspiration for one of the greatest love stories ever told.
