...SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE Forbidden romance, raffish show-biz comedy, literary pranksterism and class warfare jostle joyously in this intricately imagined, exuberantly acted, cunningly directed tale of how the young, infinitely distracted Bard gets in touch with the genius he doesn't know he possesses. To Gwyneth Paltrow, muse of Miramax, we send our heart...
...literature that never got written. But when young Will Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) becomes pen-tied, the future of English literature is imperiled. For his new play he has a title--Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter--but not a clue.

His Gordon is self-absorbed, fulminating--the angry young man 20 years before...
...constant agonizing over the power plant to observe "the sun balanced on the very spot where sea meets coast." The nuances of Hex's odd childhood, when pretentious Billie served him meals with "frozen foods accompanying the fine wines of Bordeaux," and when Hex wanted nothing more than to muse over "the math of [girls'] pulses," are immaculately rendered...
