Set in 1593 London, the film follows William Shakespeare, who is struggling with writer's block while working on his new play, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter." He finds his muse in Viola de Lesseps, a noblewoman who dreams of acting—a profession forbidden to women at the time. Disguised as a man named Thomas Kent, Viola auditions and is cast in Shakespeare's play. Their ensuing romance inspires Shakespeare to transform his work into the tragic love story "Romeo and Juliet." The film intertwines their forbidden love with the challenges of theater production, leading to a climactic performance that mirrors their own experiences.
