About the show

Queen Elizabeth and Olivia take refuge at a tavern and encounter a drunken William Shakespeare. Later, Olivia impersonates a mysterious figure that Shakespeare believes to be his muse; Lord Latimer challenges him to a duel, and Shakespeare flees into a river. At court, the Queen arranges for the night’s events to be treated as a dream, inspiring the play Shakespeare will write.
