SYNOPSIS
Prologue
The show is introduced by Aubrey, the director of the Rough Shakespeare
Company, and h
er
assistant Al. They welcome the audience to their exclusive
adaption of William Shakespeare's secret diary which they claim to have found.
Aubrey begins to read the fi rst extract from the diary as we move to Scene One.
Scene One: 1593 - Will's Study In Stratford
Will is furiously ranting to his family about a bad review he has recently received.
He vows to rebuff his critics by becoming a writer so famous that school children
will be forced to study his work for centuries to come!
Scene Two: 1595 - London
The song
'Will's Wonderful Words'
is performed in the streets by a group of
'cool' Minstrels. Will is now, indeed, rather famous and is constantly chased
throughout the song by a legion of fans until he reaches the safety of his study.
Scene Three: A Rehearsal Room
It's audition time in the rehearsal rooms for the female roles. Since no women
were allowed to perform on stage at the time, this is quite a diffi cult process. Will
entrusts the loud mouthed, arrogant star of the theatre company, Richard
'Burley' Burbage to take on the task. A farce ensues when a group of Men-
Dressed-As-Women try to quote some female lines
, then
a group of Women-
Disguised-As-Men try to infi ltrate the audition. The song
'No Girls Allowed'
is
performed.
Scene Four: 1599 - The Globe Theatre
The fi nishing touches to the Globe theatre are underway in preparation for the
grand opening performance of Henry the Fifth. The song
'Show In The Globe'
i
s performed before the grand entrance of Queen Elizabeth I followed by a group
of pesky paparazzi painters hoping for a quick 'sketch'. After an exchange of
words between Will and the builders about the extortionate cost, the audience
settles down and the beer and apple sellers peddle their wares as the show
starts.
Scene Five: 1613 - A Rehearsal Room In London
The cast of Macbeth are rehearsing a scene. Unfortunately, because they are so
superstitious, they cannot mention Macbeth by name in case it brings them bad
luck. They perform the song
'Don't Mention Mac'
just before Macbeth's name is
mentioned. Desperate to reverse the bad luck, the Superstitious Sorcerers claim
that the only solution is to spin around three times, then say a naughty word.
The cast agree to do this but, just before they get chance to say it, Bernie
Bottom - the cannon operator - enters the scene with bad news. The Globe
Theatre has burnt down!
Scene Six: The Smouldering Ruins Of The Globe Theatre
In the smoked fi lled remains of the Globe theatre, secret lovers Romeo and
Juliet fi nd each other amongst the scorched debris. A Lutenist and Recorder
Player enter, trying to fi nd their beloved instruments before stumbling across the
besotted pair. The musical Minstrels are shocked to discover that Juliet is, in
fact, a real woman and not a Man-Dressed-As-A-Woman. After a charred
recorder and a burnt lute are reunited with their owners the song
'Romeos And
Juliets'
is performed. Will and Anne enter, touched by the love song that they
overheard. Will agrees to keep Juliet's secret and even renames his play 'Roger
& Janet' after the love struck duo. After a decision to rebuild the Globe, the song
'All The World's A Stage'
is performed.
