The Rose

This time-traveling dramedy is a little bit like if Shakespeare in Love had a love child with Hot Tub Time Machine…

When I visited the London theatre, The Rose, several years ago, I couldn’t get it out of my head. Such a funky space with an important history, and I couldn’t help feeling that The Rose has a soul. My father was a History professor, which might explain why history plays a big part in the inspiration for my screenplays. When I shared with him that I was writing a film about Shakespeare’s lost years, he leaned in just a little closer. Then I got to tell him it’s a time travel story.

 

Description

When a Shakespeare enthusiast travels back to 16th century London, he must take on the role of a lifetime as muse and life coach to William Shakespeare if he is to ensure the bard’s place in history and make it back to his own time.
