About this product

Product Information

Shakespeare In Love is a romantic comedy for the 1990's set in the 1590's, telling the witty, sexy story behind the creation of the greatest love story of them all - Romeo and Juliet. Young Will Shakespeare is the up and coming playwright of the time, but has been disastrously struck by the bane of the writer's life - writer's block. What Will needs is a muse - and she appears in the form of the beautiful (and betrothed) Lady Viola. The path of true love doesn't run smooth for will, however - Viola is engaged to be married to the insufferable Lord Wessex (Colin Firth) at the command of Queen Elizabeth (Judi Dench). The joys and tradgedy of his own life find their way onto the page in a moving, witty and spellbinding tale. Shakespeare In Love is a brilliantly funny, warm and fast moving romance.

  • BRILLIANT....

    I bought the DVD to replace the''video cassette''. I know and LOVE this most excellent movie very well....I have enjoyed it multiple times and that is how such quality grabs you. All cast brilliant....everything brilliant, reflecting Shakespeare's times, politics.....and comedy. . Hidden jokes....the multi Oscar winner movie with excellent music is a ''stand out '' for years and Paltrow perfect ...as is Fiennes SHAKESPEARE would love this movie and be flattered..... Historically speaking ...Virginians were so called before they even sailed to seek a colony in the 1580's....Raleigh's flattery and ambition for Elizabeth to secure a colony for her in return to her granting of ships for the adventure..... A MASTERPIECE TO BE ENJOYED.

  • Creative and Humorous

    Well deserve the academy awards. To suggest how Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night were inspired is creative and humorous.
