this be the sort of movie that have probably do well on word of mouth alone . i like it enough to recommend it to at least 2 different friend . like shakespeare in love before it and this movie be definitely not historically accurate . if you can look past some of the more glaring inaccuracy ( if you have ever take a history of theater class you will know instantly what i mean ) and you will be reward with a pretty gripping story . if you like shakepearen era theater and like story that be well write and you will like this one . while i have certainly know there be a time in theater when men play woman part and i have never before think about what might have happen to them when woman be finally allow on the stage . this be an interesting and think provoke movie and probably best for adult and mature teen .
