Young playwright Melina Green has crafted a new play inspired by her Elizabethan ancestor, Emilia Bassano. However, in the male-dominated world of theater, she fears her work may never be seen on stage. As Melina hesitates to risk another potential failure, her best friend takes a bold step by submitting the play to a festival under a male pseudonym, without Melina's knowledge.
Back in 1581, Emilia Bassano, a ward of English nobility, is educated in languages, history, and writing, developing a sharp intellect and a talent for storytelling. Yet, as a woman of her time, her voice is stifled. Forced into becoming the mistress of the Lord Chamberlain, Emilia witnesses the power of playwrights in shaping public thought and hatches a plan to have her own play performed—by having William Shakespeare present it as his work.
"By Any Other Name" weaves together the stories of two women from different eras, both battling societal constraints to see their creative visions come to life. This compelling narrative, rooted in historical fact, ensures that the legacy of Emilia Bassano is honored and remembered.
