Shakespeare is the main character as well as the eponymous one.
Shakespeare is trying to write a comedy entitled Romeo and Ethel,the Pirate's daughter..
He has lost his gift so he feels depressed.
Shakespeare lies with many women , all prostitutes.
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of beauty and love .In Sil it is the pseudo of a prostitute.
Christopher Marlowe (Kit) was a playwright too.
Rosaline is the mistress of R.Burbage who was a famous actor.She is a seamstress too; she cares for the costumes.
The Curtain is situated/located in the North of London and it was the house of R.Burbage, the famous / well-known actor .The competition was called the Rose ,situated across the river Thames ,owned by P.Henslowe,a businessman who had cash flow problems which means he had a lot of debts ,that is why, at the beginning of the film he is tortured by a money lender.
William Shakespeare was a poet (he wrote sonnets )and a playwright (he wrote comedies ,tragedies and historical plays ). He lived in London but came from Stratford-upon-Avon where his wife and children (among them twins )lived.
The astronomer is in fact a psychologist /or psychiatrist (otherwise called a shrink) which is of course an anachronism.
Elisabeth the first also called the Virgin Queen, enjoyed comedies-especially the scene with the dog.
