Shakespeare in Love (1998)
Love is the only inspiration
Starring Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Geoffrey Rush
Directed by John Madden
Young Shakespeare is forced to stage his latest comedy, 'Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter,' before it's even written. When a lovely noblewoman auditions for a role, they fall into forbidden love -- and his play finds a new life (and title). As their relationship progresses, Shakespeare's comedy soon transforms into tragedy.
