Description Explosively funny and deeply moving, Equivocation asks the questions - how do we tell the truth in terrifying times? London, 1605 - William Shakespeare receives Royal Commission to write a play promoting the 'official' version of Guy Fawkes' treasonous Gunpowder Plot. As the world's greatest storyteller navigates the dangerous course between writing a lie and losing his soul, or writing the truth and losing his head - his devoted theatre troupe, and his daughter, help him negotiate each precarious step.
