It’s a\r\n\r\nmadcap world more modern than tomorrow where gender is\r\n\r\nwhat a person makes of it (no matter the story beneath their\r\n\r\npetticoats or tights).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill Shakespeare is having a very bad year. Suffering from a\r\n\r\nmid-life crisis, a plague outbreak, and the death of the\r\n\r\nancient Queen, Will’s mettle is put to the test when the new\r\n\r\nKing puts his witch-burning hobby aside to announce a\r\n\r\nnational play competition that will determine which theatre\r\n\r\ncompany will secure his favour and remain in business. As\r\n\r\nhe struggles to write a Scottish supernatural thriller, Will\r\n\r\nfaces one ruff and puffy obstacle after another including a\r\n\r\nyoung rival punk poet and his activist-wife fighting for\r\n\r\nequality and a woman’s right to tread the boards.\r\n\r\nWill and his band of misfits must ensure not only their own\r\n\r\nsurvival, but that of England as well. The stage is set for an\r\n\r\noutrageous and compelling tale of ghosts, ghostwriting,\r\n\r\nwriter’s block, and the chopping block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuffly based on a true story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rod Carley (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":50347416256869,"sku":"9781988989822","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2651\/2997\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e648fa79-8fa4-48ab-8059-977542cdec4d.jpg?v=1789076695","url":"https:\/\/www.commonplaceingersoll.ca\/products\/9781988989822","provider":"Commonplace Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
