Welcome to the year 1595, where the Black Plague has ceded power to the Puritans, farthingales and codpiece are the latest fashion trend, and the biggest celebrity in Renaissance England is playwright named William Shakespeare. In the midst of all this excitement, two brothers in London, Nick and Nigel Bottom, are trying to keep their acting company afloat. As the Bottom Brothers strive to write the world's very first "musical" they find themselves caught in a bitter battle with the Bard over who's going to create the best show. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the to means being true to thine own self and all that jazz.
