To impress patron Lord Southampton Will has written the romantic tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet' and, grateful to Kate for her contribution to the text, intends to cast her as Juliet. However, with a ban on female actors, he passes her off as a boy. Greene discovers the ruse and intends to expose it at the play's debut in front of Southampton but Will has a plan to thwart him and grant Kate her wish to be on the stage.
