The theatre company is in need of a titled patron. Lord Southampton might be a willing patron but he does not like those long historical plays, he much prefers romance.
Will is spurred on to complete his romantic tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet' with the help of Kate's sensitive reading of the text that has inspired Will. However Burbage and Condell sees themselves as the leads even though they are too old.
During auditions Will persuades Kate to attend pretending to be a boy in among all the other Eton educated boys with strange names. Robert Greene is on the scent but when it comes to the day of the performance Greene might be left with egg on his face as he sets about exposing a girl playing Juliet.
A sweet end to a strong second series. Ben Elton has certainly rediscovered his comedy mojo.
