- I will write

00:00:02,209 --> 00:00:04,403
the greatest plays this
world has ever seen.
3
00:00:04,405 --> 00:00:07,105
- What the hell has gotten into you?
- It is a work day, Thomas.
4
00:00:07,107 --> 00:00:08,607
Write a damn play!
5
00:00:08,609 --> 00:00:10,108
I came to London to write.
6
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:11,976
[Whispers] For God.
7
00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:15,580
- You do the Devil's bidding!
- Leave him! Stop him!
8
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:17,415
How may I speak with Father Southwell?
9
00:00:17,417 --> 00:00:21,618
Evil times allow evil men like Topcliffe
to flourish. [Dog barking]
10
00:00:21,620 --> 00:00:24,789
I'm working on an enterprise
of great import.
11
00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:27,893
This is my entreaty
to Her Majesty. Keep it safe.
12
00:00:27,895 --> 00:00:29,559
The hard part is finding the hero
13
00:00:29,561 --> 00:00:31,929
- and the quest and the setting.
- Steal them.
14
00:00:31,931 --> 00:00:33,497
- ...difficult week.
- Stop that girl!
15
00:00:33,499 --> 00:00:34,832
[Laughs]
16
00:00:34,834 --> 00:00:37,935
Did she, um, react to my, um, interest?

- Ah, a moment if you will, Will.
- You saw my play?
30
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:51,375
Aye. And I never saw a dog cause
so much merriment. [Chuckles]
31
00:01:51,377 --> 00:01:54,711
But I thought little of those
two sighing lack-galls.
32
00:01:54,713 --> 00:01:56,815
- You didn't like the lovers?
- You've met my son, Owen.
33
00:01:56,817 --> 00:01:59,649
I've known old women less tedious.
34
00:02:01,888 --> 00:02:03,354
Baby.
35

Mmm. Mmm.
43
00:02:37,256 --> 00:02:38,489
What's wrong?
44
00:02:38,491 --> 00:02:41,393
Nothing.
45
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:42,960
Meet me in hell?
46
00:02:42,962 --> 00:02:45,629
And I'll take you to heaven.

[Door opens] One hit, and he thinks
himself the new Marlowe.
49
00:02:50,636 --> 00:02:53,937
Longevity. That's what you need
in this business.
50
00:02:53,939 --> 00:02:56,007
We're the toast of London!
51
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:57,775
- [Cheering]
- Oh, spare a few shillings
52
00:02:57,777 --> 00:02:59,644
while the sun shines on you,
Master William?
53
00:02:59,646 --> 00:03:01,311
I'm momentarily short.
54
00:03:01,313 --> 00:03:04,781
The sparkling fairy's knob
in your ear would say otherwise.
55
00:03:04,783 --> 00:03:06,349
Will...
56
00:03:06,351 --> 00:03:08,485
tell me more about this
fat knight you're writing me.
57
00:03:08,487 --> 00:03:10,655
Ah, it's a wondrous part.
58
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:12,089
He gets more greatness,
59
00:03:12,091 --> 00:03:13,691
and I'm stuck
with the limp-dicked lover.
60
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:15,258
Valentine is a very fine role.
61
00:03:15,260 --> 00:03:18,162
- For the likes of Autolycus, perhaps.
- Thanks, Richard.

77
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:01,371
Are the lovers tedious?
78
00:04:01,373 --> 00:04:02,705
What?
79
00:04:02,707 --> 00:04:03,907
Not us. In the play.
80
00:04:03,909 --> 00:04:05,242
- [Kisses]
- Oh, they're fine.
81
00:04:05,244 --> 00:04:07,377
Fine? "Except I be by Silvia
in the night",
82
00:04:07,379 --> 00:04:08,912
"there is no music in the nightingale.
83

"there is no day for me to look upon.
85
00:04:12,485 --> 00:04:13,817
She is my essence."
86
00:04:13,819 --> 00:04:15,486
I wrote that for you.
87
00:04:15,488 --> 00:04:16,720
That bit's good.
88

Imagine the thrill
of standing on this stage,
96
00:04:39,212 --> 00:04:42,546
cheered by thousands.
97
00:04:42,548 --> 00:04:45,717
I was hoping to see Alice.
98
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:48,385
She must have run an errand.
99
00:04:48,387 --> 00:04:53,023
I have a gift for her,
a book of poetry.
100
00:04:53,025 --> 00:04:57,527
Outlandish, I know,
to put poetry into a...
101
00:04:57,529 --> 00:04:59,130
- [Book slams shut loudly]
- ...a book.
102
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:03,934
But I'm told it's all the fashion.
103
00:05:03,936 --> 00:05:05,602
Do you think she'll like it?
104
00:05:05,604 --> 00:05:07,638
Oh, she'll be ecstatic.
105
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,573
[Muffled moaning]
106
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:10,941

[Loud moan]
108
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,277
Ah... they're just the, eh...
109
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,313
- [Heavy footsteps]
- ...old bones of the theatre creaking.
110
00:05:16,315 --> 00:05:18,950
I recall now that Alice is
out collecting alms
111
00:05:18,952 --> 00:05:20,484
for the feast of St. Mark.
112
00:05:20,486 --> 00:05:24,388
Perhaps we might visit...
tomorrow?
113
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:26,957
Lunch? Mother will be delighted.
114
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:29,994
Alice will be thrilled.
[Chuckles]
115
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:32,797
You should warn that girl
against giving herself too freely.
116
00:05:32,799 --> 00:05:34,297
- She'll be worn thin.
- Yeah.
117

Ah, looking for inspiration.
121
00:05:44,977 --> 00:05:46,576
In hell?
122
00:05:46,578 --> 00:05:50,981
By examining the inner workings
of the stage, I hope to...
123
00:05:50,983 --> 00:05:55,856
access my own... machinery.
124
00:05:56,823 --> 00:05:58,655
[Indistinct conversations]

00:06:02,662 --> 00:06:05,263
Mr. Cotton saw the play.
127
00:06:05,265 --> 00:06:07,998
Alice was telling me how the two
of you worked on it together.
128
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,035
She's an excellent copyist.
129
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:13,638
I have a good hand.
Nothing more.
130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,873
The ideas are all
Master Shakespeare's.
131
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,842
Your mother's looking for you.
132
00:06:18,844 --> 00:06:21,477
Quickly. It seemed urgent.
133
00:06:21,479 --> 00:06:25,683
I will go, Mr. Cotton. It seems
I have outstayed my welcome.
134
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:29,385
Not possible, Madam.
135
00:06:29,387 --> 00:06:31,356
I was going to ask how the lust goes,
136
00:06:31,358 --> 00:06:33,691
but my question is answered.
137
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:36,292
It burns hot as hell.
138
00:06:36,294 --> 00:06:37,996
I know not of what you speak.
139
00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:41,698
Thou art arright, cousin.
Lust is no laughing matter.
140
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:45,035
Walk with me.
141
00:06:45,037 --> 00:06:47,037
Matthew, how wonderful to share
142
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:51,809
my other passion with you...
the art of angling.
143
00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:54,044
One must be perfectly still.
144
00:06:54,046 --> 00:06:56,647
You feel the twitch in the line.
145
00:06:56,649 --> 00:07:01,152
Murmur, "God save the Queen,"
146
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:05,422
then strike like the Devil himself.
147
00:07:05,424 --> 00:07:08,224
Feel it.
God save the Queen.
148
00:07:08,226 --> 00:07:11,030
[Mathew gasping]
149
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:20,237
[Exhales sharply]
150
00:07:20,239 --> 00:07:24,075
Where is Robert Southwell?
151
00:07:24,077 --> 00:07:26,510
Somewhere safe, I pray.
152
00:07:26,512 --> 00:07:29,580
- [Squish]
- Help! Help!
153
00:07:29,582 --> 00:07:32,249
Aah! [Whimpering]
154
00:07:32,251 --> 00:07:37,054
- Your god's magic is a fiction.
- [Whimpering]
155

Aah! [Whimpering]
156
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:44,294
I am a fisherman
157
00:07:44,296 --> 00:07:47,698
and also a fisher of men.
158
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:51,135
And soon, I will hook
159
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:55,972
the traitorous, murderous Southwell.
160
00:07:55,974 --> 00:07:59,575
??
161
00:07:59,577 --> 00:08:01,111

[Screams]
164
00:08:11,924 --> 00:08:14,958
If ye be needed elsewhere, madam,
we'll do just as well without you.
165
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,063
If that were true, we wouldn't be
missing our most expensive gown.
166
00:08:19,065 --> 00:08:21,732
I'd part with me right hand to
know what became of that dress.
167
00:08:21,734 --> 00:08:25,169
You'll part with a lot more
if another one goes missing.
168
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:28,172
[Sighs] You need help?
169
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:29,640
Where were you?
170
00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:32,475
I went for some air.
171
00:08:32,477 --> 00:08:35,146
We are dining with Keenan
and his mother tomorrow.
172
00:08:35,148 --> 00:08:36,580
- Oh.
- Don't look at me like that.
173
00:08:36,582 --> 00:08:38,748
- [Scoffs]
- He's a very nice man. And rich.
174
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:40,984
And you are merely
a player's daughter.
175
00:08:40,986 --> 00:08:42,253
Thank you, Mother.
176
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:45,189
And despite our momentary success,
this theatre barely survives.
177
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:47,490
A match with Keenan
would secure all our futures.
178
00:08:47,492 --> 00:08:50,527
And I must be
the sacrificial lamb. Hmm?
179
00:08:50,529 --> 00:08:53,864
One luncheon.

I will not be sermonized.
558
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:33,035
And the stag broke
your beloved dog's leg.
559

And the only mercy was death.

725
00:39:08,620 --> 00:39:09,920
It's been done.
726
00:39:09,922 --> 00:39:13,723
It's 1589, Will.
Everything's been done.
727
00:39:13,725 --> 00:39:16,493
It's how you do it that counts.
728
00:39:16,495 --> 00:39:19,395
The king is weak, and the duke
must save his kingdom.
729
00:39:19,397 --> 00:39:21,632
It's great.
730
00:39:21,634 --> 00:39:24,634
Mm, it has potential.
731
00:39:24,636 --> 00:39:27,170
I knew it!
732
00:39:27,172 --> 00:39:30,940
But only with the right man
to make it great.
733
00:39:30,942 --> 00:39:32,743
I'll ask Edward Alleyn.
734
00:39:32,745 --> 00:39:37,147
[Scoffs] Swive thee.
735
00:39:37,149 --> 00:39:38,815
How is your sister today?
736
00:39:38,817 --> 00:39:41,784
- She is well.
- She is?
737
00:39:41,786 --> 00:39:44,820
She has agreed to marry the beer man.
738
00:39:46,257 --> 00:39:48,759
My parents have taken her
to do the deal.
739
00:39:48,761 --> 00:39:51,998
??
740
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,667
[Indistinct conversations]
741
00:39:56,669 --> 00:39:58,536
Whoa!
742
00:39:58,538 --> 00:40:01,538
- Oh!
- Aah!

745
00:40:11,549 --> 00:40:14,850
You look lovely today, Alice.
746
00:40:14,852 --> 00:40:19,355
Not dressed too fancy
like some girls, but simple.
747
00:40:19,357 --> 00:40:20,690
And pretty.
748
00:40:20,692 --> 00:40:22,792
[Shouting] She's perfect!
749
00:40:22,794 --> 00:40:25,196
You don't want
a beautiful one, Keenan.
750
00:40:25,198 --> 00:40:27,196
They can't keep their legs shut!
751
00:40:27,198 --> 00:40:28,732

[Grunts]
754
00:40:38,343 --> 00:40:42,812
It must be a daunting prospect,
getting a new family.
755
00:40:42,814 --> 00:40:44,882
Not if I also get to keep
my old family.
756
00:40:44,884 --> 00:40:46,549
Of course.
757
00:40:46,551 --> 00:40:49,920
My family is a large one,
full of players and writers.
758
00:40:49,922 --> 00:40:52,054
She mumbles her words!
759
00:40:52,056 --> 00:40:54,692
[Loudly] She's saying that
she won't be shut up indoors
760
00:40:54,694 --> 00:40:57,861
after she is married!
761
00:40:57,863 --> 00:40:59,096
[Grunting]
762
00:40:59,098 --> 00:41:01,232
Keenan worked hard for what he has.
763
00:41:01,234 --> 00:41:03,734
He doesn't need you giving it away
764
00:41:03,736 --> 00:41:07,373
to every beggar with a tale to tell!
765
00:41:08,674 --> 00:41:09,873
[Panting]
766
00:41:09,875 --> 00:41:14,578
I will not give his money away.
767
00:41:14,580 --> 00:41:16,245
It's rather warm.
768
00:41:16,247 --> 00:41:20,583
Um, if you don't mind,
I'll open the window.
769
00:41:20,585 --> 00:41:24,922
Maybe it's your fertile time!
770
00:41:24,924 --> 00:41:26,623
[Window creaks]
771
00:41:26,625 --> 00:41:29,091
- Lovely sausage.
- Thank you.
772
00:41:29,093 --> 00:41:30,426
[Under breath]
What are you doing here?
773
00:41:30,428 --> 00:41:32,062
If marrying Keenan will
make you happy,
774
00:41:32,064 --> 00:41:33,596
then I wish it for you
with all my heart,
775
00:41:33,598 --> 00:41:36,433
but it would kill me deader than
stone if you married him
776
00:41:36,435 --> 00:41:39,902
because you thought all men
as cowardly and base as I.
777
00:41:39,904 --> 00:41:43,207
Thou wilt get a cold quim
778
00:41:43,209 --> 00:41:46,743
with the wind blowing up your skirt!
779
00:41:46,745 --> 00:41:48,312
You should go.
780
00:41:48,314 --> 00:41:49,779
A frigid fanny!
781
00:41:49,781 --> 00:41:51,281
- There's something else.
- What?
782
00:41:51,283 --> 00:41:53,116
I won't stay away from the theatre.
783
00:41:53,118 --> 00:41:56,585
I did see greatness in our stars
that night, for all of us.
784
00:41:56,587 --> 00:41:57,821
[Whispers] Oh, shut up!
785
00:41:57,823 --> 00:42:02,125
Odd girl!
Muttering like a loon!
786
00:42:02,127 --> 00:42:04,161
I intend to make the theatre thrive
787
00:42:04,163 --> 00:42:06,797
- until you can take it over and run it.
- You must go.
788
00:42:06,799 --> 00:42:08,968
[Locks door]

??
792
00:42:48,372 --> 00:42:50,674
Fresh from the censor...
a new fellow,
793
00:42:50,676 --> 00:42:54,447
enjoying his first blush of fame.
794
00:42:58,649 --> 00:43:02,320
William Shakespeare?
795
00:43:07,327 --> 00:43:09,563
[Richard chuckles]
796
00:43:22,810 --> 00:43:27,348
May the sun shine on three
always, Barnaby.
797
00:43:46,533 --> 00:43:49,634
Thou can't have scribed
an entire play so soon.
798
00:43:49,636 --> 00:43:51,970
I have the beginnings
and I'd value your opinion.
799
00:43:51,972 --> 00:43:53,604
"Henry VI."
800
00:43:53,606 --> 00:43:57,875
A play in which one order falls
and another rises.
801
00:43:57,877 --> 00:44:01,180
And great men behave with both
virtue and villainy.
802
00:44:01,182 --> 00:44:05,151
Sounds better than fairies.
803
00:44:05,153 --> 00:44:06,884
I hear you're working
on something new.
804
00:44:06,886 --> 00:44:09,721
Sister, art thou marrying
the beer man?
805
00:44:09,723 --> 00:44:11,355
I haven't decided yet.
806
00:44:11,357 --> 00:44:14,361
Don't take too long.
You're not getting any younger.
807
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:20,698
I thought you might need a copyist.
808
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:24,136
Thou art so much more than that.
809
00:44:24,138 --> 00:44:26,238
You can read Margaret,
810
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:29,209
a woman who makes her own choices.
811
00:44:34,314 --> 00:44:37,249
What happened to your earring?
812
00:44:37,251 --> 00:44:40,025
- I realized that...
- It made you look like a cock?
813
00:44:41,988 --> 00:44:44,355
Aye. [Chuckles]
814
00:44:44,357 --> 00:44:46,225
And that an Aladdin's treasure
of baubles
815
00:44:46,227 --> 00:44:49,495
could not purchase
what I truly desire...
816
00:44:49,497 --> 00:44:55,167
this, our work, and thee.
817
00:44:55,169 --> 00:44:57,837
- [Claps hands]
- May we begin?!
818
00:44:57,839 --> 00:44:59,404
Suffolk.
819
00:44:59,406 --> 00:45:03,540
- [Richard sighs]
- Everyone else, start off stage.
820
00:45:03,542 --> 00:45:06,345
Well, hath your highness
seen into this duke.
821
00:45:06,347 --> 00:45:08,913
Smooth runs the water
where the brook is deep.
822
00:45:08,915 --> 00:45:10,915
He harbors treason.
823
00:45:10,917 --> 00:45:13,417
The fox barks not
when he would steal the lamb.
824
00:45:13,419 --> 00:45:16,220
- [Door creaks open]
- No, no, my...
825
00:45:16,222 --> 00:45:17,758
[Footsteps approach]
826
00:45:19,059 --> 00:45:20,758
What do you want?
827
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,562
William Shakespeare.
828
00:45:23,564 --> 00:45:25,897
Just go out the back. Run.
829
00:45:25,899 --> 00:45:27,698
??
830
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:30,201
I swore I would never endanger
your family again,
831
00:45:30,203 --> 00:45:32,104
and I meant it.
832
00:45:32,106 --> 00:45:34,105
[Breathing heavily]
833
00:45:34,107 --> 00:45:36,640
I came here tonight because...
834
00:45:36,642 --> 00:45:39,144
I couldn't bear the thought
of all those words
835
00:45:39,146 --> 00:45:42,314
tumbling out like stars
from heaven's mouth without me.
836
00:45:42,316 --> 00:45:44,450
If you are not in my world,
837
00:45:44,452 --> 00:45:47,051
who will help me see those stars?
838
00:45:47,053 --> 00:45:49,553
I will be fine.
839
00:45:49,555 --> 00:45:53,058
Us Stratford boys are famously sturdy.
840
00:45:53,060 --> 00:45:56,297
??
841
00:46:03,069 --> 00:46:06,805
I am William Shakespeare.
842
00:46:06,807 --> 00:46:10,808
Mr. Topcliffe requests
an audience.
843
00:46:10,810 --> 00:46:12,576
[Inhales sharply]
844
00:46:12,578 --> 00:46:13,845
What for?
845
00:46:13,847 --> 00:46:16,316
When I called it a request,
I was being polite.
846
00:46:19,821 --> 00:46:21,787
Peace, Richard.
847
00:46:21,789 --> 00:46:25,290
We can do this the other way,
if you prefer.
848
00:46:25,292 --> 00:46:28,496
??
849
00:46:41,175 --> 00:46:45,442
He'll be fine.
You heard him say so.
850
00:46:45,444 --> 00:46:48,448
Writers are persuasive liars.
851
00:46:53,653 --> 00:46:56,689
These insidious peddlers of propaganda
852
00:46:56,691 --> 00:46:59,959
will rot the very fabric
of our society.
853
00:46:59,961 --> 00:47:02,192
The Catholics have
a particularly skilled deceiver
854
00:47:02,194 --> 00:47:05,462
in Robert Southwell.
855
00:47:05,464 --> 00:47:10,535
Do you not intend to dine,
Master Shakespeare?
856
00:47:10,537 --> 00:47:12,571
I have no appetite.
857
00:47:12,573 --> 00:47:17,142
I do not begrudge a man
the right to make ends meet.
858
00:47:17,144 --> 00:47:18,843
But theatres?
859
00:47:18,845 --> 00:47:22,680
Theatres are pits of debauchery
and sedition.
860
00:47:22,682 --> 00:47:27,551
I would have every last one
razed to the ground if I could.
861
00:47:27,553 --> 00:47:30,589
Then praise be that you can't.
862
00:47:30,591 --> 00:47:34,560
I wrote a play myself
at the university.
863
00:47:34,562 --> 00:47:38,529
It was very well received...
by those who mattered.
864
00:47:38,531 --> 00:47:44,401
The rabble are trickier to please,
but I observe you have a gift for it.
865
00:47:44,403 --> 00:47:48,339
The "Two Gentlemen of Verona"
866
00:47:48,341 --> 00:47:50,276
is lauded by lowlifes.
867
00:47:50,278 --> 00:47:53,578
I fear the bar is set too low
with that particular work.
868
00:47:53,580 --> 00:47:55,680
No.
869
00:47:55,682 --> 00:47:59,084
It is set just where I need it.
870
00:47:59,086 --> 00:48:04,555
I intend to use you as weaponry
in the war against the papacy.
871
00:48:04,557 --> 00:48:09,928
You are going to write me a play,
872
00:48:09,930 --> 00:48:12,263
an anti-Catholic missive
to the masses
873
00:48:12,265 --> 00:48:16,100
to counter Southwell's propaganda.
874
00:48:16,102 --> 00:48:17,769
You have a week.
