It’s 1606, the plague is raging, and William Shakespeare is very sick… with writer’s block. Unhappily quarantined with his peasant apprentice, the Bard tries in vain to write his next great masterpiece. Up through the window climbs Jane Anger, a Cunning Woman with a massive sack, and a scheme to change history.
JANE ANGER — 30s/40s, Black, female, working class. A Cunning Woman.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE — 42, White, male, upper class. The voice of All People.
FRANCIS SIR — Older than 16 and looks it, White, male, peasant background. “Vaulting ambition which o’erleaps itself…”
ANNE HATHAWAY — 50 and looks great, White or White-passing, female. “Will they ever stop hating on Anne Hathaway?”
O.S. PLAGUE SCREECHER/ O.S. PEASANT WOMAN — Played by anyone.
