The beloved Oscar-winning film comes to life onstage in this imagined story of how young Will Shakespeare is inspired by his muse — the feisty, brilliant and beautiful Viola — to write Romeo & Juliet, his romantic masterpiece. A rollicking tale of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics.
