Set against the backdrop of the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, and the Essex Rebellion against her, the story advances the theory that it was in fact Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford who penned Shakespeare's plays.

Wasn't what I expected, but certainly impressed me. Rhys Ifans is amazing.

Good entertaining fictional historic movie. Just don't try to chew on whether the history is true or not but enjoy the plot.
