10.  Will Shakespeare is a known but struggling poet, playwright and
actor who not only has sold his next play to both Philip Henslow
and Richard Burbidge but now faces a far more difficult problem:
he is bereft of ideas and has yet to begin writing. He is in search
of his muse, the woman who will inspire him but all attempts fail
him until he meets the beautiful Viola de Lesseps. She loves the
theatre and would like nothing more than to take to the stage
but is forbidden from doing so as only men can be actors. She is
also a great admirer of Shakespeare's works. Dressing as a man
and going by the name of Thomas Kent, she auditions and is
ideal for a part in his next play. Shakespeare soon sees through
her disguise and they begin a love affair, one they know cannot
end happily for them as he is already married and she has been
promised to the dour Lord Wessex. As the company rehearses his
new play, Will and Viola's love is transferred to the written page
leading to the masterpiece that is Romeo and Juliet.

16.  In the opening scene, Iago complains to Roderigo that

promote the handsome young Cassio to be his
Lieutenant. He vows to get revenge. Iago first asks
Roderigo to tell Desdemona’s father, Brabantio, that
his daughter has left to marry Othello, a marriage
Brabantio opposes because Othello is a Moor.
Brabantio confronts Othello, and they take their
argument to the Duke, who has summoned Othello to
