I saw this play in Ashland, Oregon. If you can’t see it, read it and get your local theatre to produce it. It’s a great play about Shakespeare (called Shagspere in the play) and a scenario in which the king’s adviser Cecil wants him to write a play about the Gunpowder Plot. Can he tell the true story of a current event without getting executed alongside the alleged traitors?
