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鈥檚 got a job at England鈥檚 best theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain鈥檚 Men, and the money is rolling in. Determined to restore his family鈥檚 reputation, Shakespeare works harder than ever, producing hit after hit: A Midsummer Night鈥檚 Dream, Henry IV and Julius Caesar.
But as his star rises, a series of tragedies strike. Shakespeare鈥檚 life, purpose and family are thrown into chaos, and he begins to question if his new life is worth the sacrifice.
