Synopsis

William Shakespeare has brought Richard Burbage to an inn near the Globe Theatre to discuss his latest idea for a comedy. They are joined by the Fifth Doctor. Shakespeare begins his pitch by describing a story of a woman who pretends to be her brother, inspired by Of Apollonius and Silla by Barnabe Rich. The Doctor makes a face at this and remarks that he prefers the original version by Matteo Bandello.
