Stratford-upon-Avon, 1613.
A public accusation of adultery is made against Susanna Hall, the eldest daughter of William Shakespeare, and Rafe Smith, a married neighbour and family friend. Her husband is desperate for his wife to clear her name, but how can he avoid the fact that one summer's night, while he was away from Stratford, Rafe was seen secretly leaving their herbal garden.
"... a play about relative and absolute truth, about morality, compromise and love. The result is absorbing, intelligent and funny." Financial Times.
