The three biggest celebs of the Tudor dynasty Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots and Shakespeare ? meet for the first time after they are all dead. Mary and Elizabeth are still arguing furiously over who ruled best and that unfortunate incident with the axe... Caught in the middle, Shakespeare must summon all the queens of his plays ? from the She-wolf of France to the Serpent of the Nile ? to help settle the dispute.

Lear and the Fool emerge from a spirit world and the play takes on a double narrative that explores both the events of Shakespeare's story and the continuing relationship between King and Fool.
