Young Shakespeare is forced to stage his latest comedy, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," before it's even written.

Quick Review

This movie has a brilliant premise as the young Shakespeare finds true romance in the middle of a stressful stage preparation of his latest, still unwritten play. The movie captures a great sense of place and delights in every turn of events.

Funny, warm and absolutely wonderful.
