HENSLOWE takes the quill and signs.
FENNYMAN (CONT'D)
Romeo and Ethel The Pirate's
Daughter…Almost finished?
HENSLOWE:
Without doubt he is completing it at
this very moment.
INT. WILL'S ROOM. DAY
A small cramped space in the eaves of a building. A
cluttered shelf containing various objects, wedged
between crumpled pieces of paper. Among those we have
time to observe:
a skull, a mug that says A PRESENT FROMSTRATFORD-UPON-AVON.
At infrequent intervals further pieces of crumpled paper
are tossed towards the shelf. The man who is throwing
them, WILL SHAKESPEARE, is bent over a table, writing
studiously with a quill.
Now we see what he is writing: Will is practising his
signature, over and over again. "Will Shagsbeard…W
Shakspur…William Shasper…" Each time he is dissatisfied,
and each time he crumples, and tosses it away.
Suddenly WILL becomes impatient. He jumps up and goes to
the loft area in the rafters, where he sleeps, and starts
to pull on his boots. At this point the door opens and
HENSLOWE walks in. He is out of breath and his feet hurt.
HENSLOWE:
Will! Where is my play? Tell me you
have it nearly done! Tell me you have
it started.
(desperately)
You have begun?
WILL:
(struggling with his boots)
Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt
that the sun doth move
HENSLOWE:
No, no, we haven't the time. Talk
prose. Where is my play?
WILL:
(tapping his forehead and
heading out the door)
It is all locked safe in here
HENSLOWE:
God be praised!
(then doubt)
Locked?
WILL:
As soon as I have found my muse
EXT. STREET. OUTSIDE WILL'S HOUSE. DAY.
WILL lives in a crowded area of the city. Hawkers are
crying their wares, tract-sellers, delivery boys, and
merchants go about their business. HENSLOWE catches up
with WILL as he strides purposefully along.
HENSLOWE:
(catching up)
Who is she this time?!
