The young writer Will Shakespeare is in crisis. Working on his new play »Romeo and Ethel, the pirate's daughter«, he is stuck. His writer's block is not resolved until he meets the beautiful Lady Viola and falls deeply in love. Will does not know yet that Viola is to be married to the noble Lord Wessex. Neither does he realize that she stole into his theatre company dressed as a man. The time is out of joint, but Shakespeare keeps writing as if in a trance on a new play that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality.
The Heidelberger Schlossfestspiele present the stage version of this love story about the genesis of »Romeo and Juliet« and probably the most important playwright in world literature.
