About the Play
Synopsis: MUSE OF FIRE is an intimate two-hander exposing the life and love of William Shakespeare and his surprisingly wild-hearted wife, Anne. Exploring art, ambition, and the searing fuel behind the world's greatest playwright and his bold and brazen wife, MUSE OF FIRE grapples with the sacrifices and joys of a life in the theatre, and the heart of a storyteller and his muse.
