Love Is The Only Inspiration
[William Shakespeare]: I'm done with theater.
The playhouse is for dreamers.
Look what the
dream brought us.
[Viola de Lesseps]: It was we ourselves did that.
And for my life to come, I would not have
it otherwise.
[William Shakespeare]: I have a wife, yes,
and I cannot marry the daughter of Sir Robert De Lesseps.
and I cannot marry the daughter of Sir Robert De Lesseps.
You needed no wife come from Stratford to tell you that, and
yet, you let me come to your bed.
[Viola de Lesseps]: Calf-love. I loved the writer and gave up the prize for a sonnet.
[William Shakespeare]: I was the
more deceived.
[Viola
de Lesseps]: Yes, you were deceived, for I did not know how much I
loved you.
Love knows nothing of rank or river bank.
[William Shakespeare]
Love denied blights the soul we owe to God.
[William Shakespeare]
Good sir? I heard you were a poet. But a poet of no words?
[Viola de Lesseps]
This is not life, Will. It is a stolen season.
[Viola de Lesseps]
I love you, Will, beyond poetry.
[Viola de Lesseps]
The Master of the Revels despises us all for vagrants and peddlers of
bombast.
But my father, James Burbage, had the first license to make a
company of players from Her Majesty, and he drew from poets the
literature of the age.
We must show them that we are men of parts.

Shakespeare has a play. I have a theatre. The Curtain is yours.
[Richard Burbage]
My lady, the tide waits for no man, but I swear it would wait for you.
[Lord Wessex]
[Lord Wessex]: How is this to end?
[Queen Elizabeth]: As stories must when love's denied: with tears and a journey.
I don't know. It's a mystery.
[Philip Henslowe]
