I Did Adore a Twinkling Star
Prismark109 October 2017
The Two Gentlemen of Verona is the inspiration but a bit like that play it was not as good as the other episodes in the series by Ben Elton.

Will's patron The Lord Chamberlain wants a blood soaked tragedy according to Robert Greene. Will delivers Titus Andronicus.

However Greene tricked Will, The Lord Chamberlain wanted an exotic romantic comedy and Will is stuck of inspiration and time, especially as he never has done comedy before.

Marlowe is on a mission to go to Verona to rendezvous with a Countess with some important information and Kate teaches him Italian for his mission. However talking in Italian leads both Kate and Marlowe to fall in love even though Marlowe has a reputation of being a love rat.

Will gets Kate to dress as a boy to keeps tabs on Marlowe in Verona but their budget boat ride to Verona was not as economical. Verona North was hundreds of miles away from actual Verona and they lost his luggage.

However by the end of it all Will finds that his exotic romantic play has just written itself including a double wedding.
