Synopsis
Sebastiano, jeune poète anarchiste, est grièvement blessé par les gardes alors qu'il tente de s'introduire dans le château d'Oberwald où vit la reine qu'il projette d'assassiner. Mais, affaibli par ses blessures, il s'évanouit. La reine, endeuillée par la mort du roi, suspecte le chef de la police, car son propre décès lui permettrait de devenir régent. Depuis le meurtre de son mari, la reine a perdu goût à la vie et ne demande guère mieux que de subir un sort identique. Elle séquestre le jeune rebelle et le présente comme son lecteur attitré. Ils tombent très rapidement amoureux l'un de l'autre et Sebastiano l'incite à reconquérir son royaume. Le chef de la police, le comte Föhn, n'ignore pas que Sebastiano est caché au château. Il le fait bientôt arrêter et lui propose un marché : convaincre la reine d'abandonner son trône contre la vie sauve et la liberté. Sebastiano préfère se suicider à l'aide d'une pilule empoisonnée. Furieuse, la reine lui fait croire qu'elle ne l'a jamais aimé. Dans un dernier effort, Sebastiano, s'armant d'un pistolet, la tue. Les deux amants s'effondrent, leurs mains cherchant à se rejoindre.Actors

Shakespeare is working on a new comedy, Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter. Suffering from writer's block, he has barely begun the play, but starts auditioning players. Viola de Lesseps, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, who has seen Shakespeare's plays at court, disguises herself as "Thomas Kent" to audition, then runs away. Shakespeare pursues Kent to Viola's house and leaves a note with the nurse, asking Thomas Kent to begin rehearsals at the Rose. He sneaks into the house with the minstrels playing that night at the ball, where her parents are arranging her betrothal to Lord Wessex, an impoverished aristocrat. While dancing with Viola, Shakespeare is struck speechless, and after being forcibly ejected by Wessex, uses Thomas Kent as a go-between to woo her. Wessex also asks Will's name, to which he replies that he is Christopher Marlowe.
