What exactly was Southampton to Shakespeare? Patron? Collaborator? Employer? Voyeur? Lover?
The evidence: Tender poems. Financial dependency. Attempted revolution. A charge of treason.
With the nature of their relationship under scrutiny, the debated connections between William Shakespeare (played by Tom McKay) and patron Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton (played by Tom Rhys-Harries) are explored before the audience.
