As Shakespeare achieves fame and fortune, a political scandal threatens his life and a family tragedy sees him question the cost of his success.
A 30-year-old Shakespeare is at the top of his game: he’s got a job at England’s best theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, and the money is rolling in. Determined to restore his family’s reputation, Shakespeare works harder than ever, producing hit after hit: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Henry IV and Julius Caesar.
But as his star rises, a series of tragedies strike. Shakespeare’s life, purpose and family are thrown into chaos, and he begins to question if his new life is worth the sacrifice.
