It's 1589, a time of religious turmoil in Protestant England when to be Catholic could be a passing sentence - Will Shakespeare arrives from the small town of Stratford to the wild streets of London with little more than a dream and a treacherous letter.
The lost years of young William Shakespeare after his arrival to London in 1589 - when theatre was like rock and roll and a young man with a dream changed the world with his words. A period drama told in a bold, contemporary style and played to a modern soundtrack that exposes all of Shakespeare's recklessness, lustful temptations, and tortured brilliance.
