Historical
En route to the Americas in 1609, Elizabeth Persons, a young
servant girl, sees her blinding headache as an ominous sign.
Sure enough, a hurricane during the final leg of their
journey tosses the ill-fated Sea Venture and its one hundred
and fifty passengers and crew onto the dreaded shores of the
Bermudas, the rumored home of evil spirits and dangerous
natives. In the months that pass--time marked by grave hardship,
mutiny, adventure, danger . . . and a blossoming love
between Elizabeth and the wrecked ship's young cook--she
despairs of their ever being rescued. But she finds hope and
strength in a remarkable new friendship, forming a fast bond
with the Sea Venture's historian, a poet traveling under the
name of William Strachey. But Will is more than he seems. To many back home in England, he is known by a different
name: Shakespeare. And he sees in their great shared
travails the makings of a magical, truly transcendent work
of theater.
