Young Shakespeare is forced to stage his latest comedy, “Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter,” before it’s even written. When a lovely noblewoman auditions for a role, they fall into forbidden love — and his play finds a new life (and title). As their relationship progresses, Shakespeare’s comedy soon transforms into tragedy.
* Rob Conkie, Robinson Distinguished Professor of Shakespeare Studies at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, will offer a brief introduction to the film, and moderate a post-screening discussion.
