Welcome to the Renaissance! Yes, the 1590s when Shakespeare was a rock star know as "THE BARD." Surprisngly though, not everyone was under his spell. Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom were struggling playwrights hopeful to write their own masterpiece. Desperate, Nick seeks out a soothsayer who convinces him the future is something called "a musical." Will this be what catapults them to fame? We will find out tonight.
