After rehearsal, William Shakespeare discovers that Thomas Kent, the actor playing Romeo, is in fact Viola, and he and Viola begin a love affair as he continues working on the play, which becomes Romeo and Juliet.
In the Elizabeth era, women were prohibited by law from acting because, despite the theatre's popularity, it was seen as a disreputable endeavour.
