Shakespeare in Love
Release: December 25, 1998

Young Shakespeare is forced to stage his latest comedy, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," before it's even written. When a lovely noblewoman auditions for a role, they fall into forbidden love -- and his play finds a new life (and title). As their relationship progresses, Shakespeare's comedy soon transforms into tragedy.

Richard Burbage: "the Master of the Revels despises us all for vagrants and peddlers of bombast. But my father, James Burbage, had the first license to make a company of players from Her Majesty, and he drew from poets the literature of the age. We must show them that we are men of parts. Will Shakespeare has a play. I have a theatre; the Curtain is yours."

William Shakespeare: "My story starts at sea; a perilous voyage to an unknown land; a shipwreck; the wild waters roar and heave; the brave vessel is dashed all to pieces; ⋯and all the helpless souls within her drowned; All save one; a Lady - whose soul is greater than the ocean, and her spirit stronger than the sea's embrace. Not for her a watery end, but a new life beginning on a stranger shore. It will be a love story; for she will be my heroine for all time; and her name will be Viola."
