1932: It's the anniversary of Shakespeare's birthday.
Two young women set off from Birmingham to witness the opening of the new theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon.
One dreams of meeting the Prince of Wales (due to open the building), while the other would be happier going to the local cinema.
Meanwhile, the architect, a young woman called Elisabeth Scott and the producer William Bridges-Adams are worrying that the building and the play may not earn the praise they hoped for.

Written by Helen Cross.
