In this rollicking comedy, the story of how young Shakespeare became the world's most famous playwright is told through the eyes of an unusual muse: his dog, Hooker. With four legs, a sharp tongue and a keen eye, Hooker traces the events and unpredictable creatures of the ever-changing Elizabethan world that shaped the young Bard's rise to fame.
