Entering the world of Elizabethan England and the vast arena of the theater, Grace Tiffany turns a great writer into a very human being who struggles to achieve his goals and live out his dreams. Meanwhile, his wife and children live a far different life in the country. The story is told with great insight that only a scholar of Shakespeare and a teacher could present. There is much tenderness in this story and so much about the dramatists and actors of the day that is yet true of our time as well.
