The year is 1610 and William Shakespeare is stuck creatively and spurned by his own theater company. Wracked by guilt over his failure to be at his son’s deathbed, Shakespeare abandons his writing to go for a walk on a stormy night. A chance encounter with a ghost at his beloved Globe Theater provides the inspiration for one last masterpiece.
