Shakespeare in Love (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. london, england, theater play, queen elizabeth i, playwright, cross dressing, false history, francis bacon, 16th century, acting, elizabethan england, romantic
