Shakespeare in Love – CSF

Broke and struggling with creative paralysis, aspiring playwright Will Shakespeare discovers inspiration in Viola de Lesseps, a wealthy merchant’s daughter who harbors a deep love for verse and drama. Though promised in marriage to the ambitious and mercenary Lord Wessex, Viola gives in to her feelings for the young writer, sparking the creation of his legendary tragedy about doomed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. However, this witty, modern theatrical adaptation of the Academy Award-winning movie is far from tragic. It’s packed with humor — and delightful references — for Shakespeare enthusiasts of every generation.
