Promising young playwright Will Shakespeare has writer's block
The deadline for his new play "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter" is fast approaching and he's in desperate need of inspiration
That is, until he chances upon his muse the beautiful Lady Viola
This young woman is Will's greatest admirer and will stop at nothing - including breaking the law - to appear in his next play
Against a bustling background of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics, Will's love for Viola quickly blossoms and also draws many other notables into the drama including Queen Elizabeth I
