Description
In 1597, London's playhouses were closed due to a provocative play that lampooned the Queen and her Privy Council. Forced to leave their theatre, William Shakespeare and his company embarked on a tour of the provinces, only to stumble upon a murder along the way. Their presence at the crime scene led to wrongful arrest by Elizabeth's secret police, but a royal visit saved them from further trouble. However, Shakespeare was soon drawn into a web of intrigue as he acted as spy within the royal court. A dalliance with the wife of a powerful nobleman revealed a papist plot to assassinate Elizabeth. As tensions mounted, Shakespeare used his skills as a dramatist to craft a play that would expose the conspiracy and prevent further violence. With pursuivants and Catholic conspirators closing in, Shakespeare's art became his only hope for survival.
