London, 1595. Playwright Will Shakespeare owes Richard Burbage a tragedy of two Italian lovers by Friday, and so far he has written the word 'Two'. Broke and blocked, he daren't open his shutters in case the sharp-witted Rosalind Hale sees him not writing. Then news comes that a star has fallen into Lambeth Marsh, and Will means to claim his portent before his rival Edmund Crowe carts it off. A sun-gilded Elizabethan romantic comedy of quills, wit and borrowed inspiration.
