SUMMARY

The play concerns the relationship of William Shakepeare & Richard Burbage, who created the lead roles in most of the Bard's greatest plays. The many locations which flow one into the other were accomplished with a unit set containing a "show" curtain, and many physical playing levels. The rest was done with lighting changes.

The two rehearse lines for another new work.
Burbage is coached by Edward Allyn, the Greatest Actor of his Time.
