Will gets advice from the likes of his tavern mates, producer, loan shark, Queen Elizabeth and rival Philip Marlowe. When Will falls in love with the beautiful Viola de Lesseps, disguised as a young actor to play Romeo, sparks fly, along with swords, witty
dialogue, song, bawdy humor and all reason.</p>
