It is October 1592. Christopher Marlowe, the most accomplished
playwright in London, has written The Massacre at Paris for his
company, the Lord Admiral's Men. Bubonic plague has hit outlying
parishes, forcing theaters to close and postponing the season.
Ordinarily, the Rose Theatre would debut Marlowe's work, but its
subject-the St. Bartholomew Day's Massacre-is unpleasant and
mightinflame hostilities against Catholics and their sympathizers,
such as merchants on whom trade depends. A new company, the Lord
Strange's Men, boasts a young writer, William Shakespeare, who is
said to have several barnburners in the queue. A competition is
called to decide which company will reopen the theaters. Who will
most effectively represent the nation's ideals and energies, its
humor and grandeur? One troupe will gain supremacy, primarily for
literary but also for cultural, religious, and political reasons.
