One of the Inspirations for the Motion Picture Shakespeare in LoveFrom No Bed for Bacon:'Viola, bewildered by the turn of events, caught in the complex weavings of the trick her disguise had played upon her love, was speaking:My state is desperate for my master's love. . . Oh, Time, though must untangle this, not I; It is too hard a knot for me t'untie.'Her voice broke.Good God,' said Shakespeare. What have I done?'Tcha,' said Burbage with a shrug. The lad is in love with you.'''An amusing and refreshing surprise. . . . their outrageously jumbled picture of Elizabethan life is most entertaining.'Times Literary SupplementUnable to settle on a spelling for his name and searching for a muse, William Shakespeare discovers a wonderful new actor, Master Pyk, among his performers. The Bard does not realize that this player is actually a stagestruck young lady, Viola, who has disguised herself as a boy in order to join Master Will's troupe. Viola is in love with literature and particularly Shakespeare's plays. Now that she is so close to the writer, the beautiful Viola falls in love with him. Unable to reveal her true identityshe is in fact, Lady Viola Compton, an aristocratshe endures the love poetry and dialogue of Shakespeare's latest creation, and in rehearsals she reads her love for Will into her lines. To Shakespeare and the others it is just an indication of Master Pyk's talent. With word that the London theaters are suddenly to be closed and believing that Shakespeare's new work will never be performed and with it her chance to act in public, Viola uses her station to ask Queen Elizabeth to stage Twelfth Night for a royal audience.In No Bed for Bacon: Or Shakespeare Sows an Oat, originally published in 1941 and an inspiration for the film Shakespeare in Love, British satirists Caryl Brahms and S. J. Simon take the reader on a romp through Elizabethan England, where the charming love affair between Shakespeare and Viola unfolds alongside Sir Walter Raleigh's introduction of a strange new vegetable from the Americas, the potato, and the plight of poor Sir Francis Bacon, who is unable to obtain a bed in which Elizabeth has slept, a humiliating circumstance, since every other lord in England possesses one.
