Argumento
In 17th century London's theater scene, Ned Kynaston (Billy Crudup), a renowned actor known for his exceptional portrayal of female roles like Desdemona in Othello, faces an unexpected challenge to his career when King Charles II lifts the ban on female stage performers. This shift is initiated by Maria (Claire Danes), a talented woman who secretly auditions for and lands Kynaston's prized role. Initially resistant, Ned eventually finds it within himself to support Maria's success, even as he struggles with his own professional decline. Alongside these personal developments, the film explores the power dynamics and gender roles in theater production during this period.
