With the plague still hanging loose in the air of 16th century London, the populace could do with cheering up. The man for the job is a new playwright on the scene, William Shakespeare. You start work at his theatre, but soon realise it won't be easy. It'll take an excellent memory, a penchant for wearing dresses and a keen eye for avoiding rotten vegetables. But against all odds, you could do well here... just watch where you're pointing that cannon!
