Upstart Crow: Wild Laughter in the Throat of Death

SYNOPSIS

Will Shakespeare's been working on his masterpiece. His friends tell him it's his greatest comedy yet, but Will insists that "Hamlet' isn't actually meant to be funny. In the meantime Greene has hit on an ingenious new way to destroy Will's reputation by excluding him from his high-brow literary set, and Marlowe"s reputation is in such a bad way that he could really do with being dead for a bit.
