A fictional account of the retired William Shakespeare at his Warwickshire home in 1615 and 1616, suffering pangs of conscience in part because he signed a contract which protected his landholdings, on the condition that he would not interfere with an enclosure of common lands that would hurt the local peasant farmers.

Directed by Angus Jackson, who has previously directed Funny Girl, The Waltz of the Toreadors, The Father and Carousel at Chichester.
