Based on the hit film that won seven Academy Awards, the romantic, witty and passionate comedy Rakastunut Shakespeare finally comes to Helsinki.
London, 1593. Struggling with money troubles and romantic woes, Will Shakespeare is trying to write a new play for his theatre – but the words simply will not come. At an audition, Will meets the extraordinary and beautiful Lady Viola, and the floodgates burst open. Viola is Will’s greatest admirer, and she will stop at nothing to win a role in his next play. Their passionate romance ignites the young playwright’s creative fire as never before. But the lovers must keep their relationship secret: with the Queen’s blessing, Lady Viola has already been promised to another man.
Rakastunut Shakespeare offers an enchanting glimpse behind the curtain into a dazzlingly sensual world alive with passion, where the greatest love story of all time is being written.
