He works for businessman and theatre entrepreneur, owner of the Rose Theatre, Philip Henslowe. In this Shakespeare in Love story the young Will is an autonomous, already successful, young playwright, struggling to find a way through with a romantic comedy he’s trying to write. There was no place for women in the Elizabethan theatre. But given his output, Shakespeare must have worked very hard at it, in an entirely male working environment. Despite this, we don’t know anything about his working method, how much was developed by the improvisation of actors, how the writing teams operated, or what hours he worked. These writers Shakespeare learned from were fuelling the highly lucrative theatre industry, furiously trying to meet the demand for plays. The only thing we really know about the historic Shakespeare at work, so to speak, in those early years, is that he acted in plays and that he started writing plays, learning the trade, working with the experienced writers. There’s absolutely nothing of the real Shakespeare here – the young Will Shakespeare is an entirely fictional young writer having a fictional relationship with a fictional heroine. You cannot, however, learn anything about Shakespeare’s life from this film as it’s pure fiction.

The text is full of Shakespeare’s poetry, carefully inserted to make it relevant to the action… most of the time! And the Shakespeare words used are carefully chosen for their particular beauty. Shakespeare in Love is fast-moving, complicated while easy to follow, and emotionally satisfying. It has a good edge on many other films though, in that the script, which won an Oscar too, was part – penned by top British playwright, Tom Stoppard, author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. It is all those things, although many other films are just as good, just as appealing. Is it that it has great ‘Elizabethan’ sets? Could it be that it’s a superior rom-com? That it has a plot that captures and holds the interest of the audience? Gwyneth Paltrow, Shakespeare in Love star
