Rafe Spall credited as playing...
William Shakespeare
- William Shakespeare: ...and the whole bloody thing in verse.
- Ben Jonson: It's really not that difficult... if you try.
- William Shakespeare: Oh, and have you ever tried? But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun...
- Ben Jonson: You. Cannot. Play Romeo.
- William Shakespeare: What! Why not? I'm perfect for the role. I'm perfect! I will not let that oaf Spencer have another go at one of my roles. No! Only Will Shakespeare can pump the life into Romeo's veins!... And his codpiece.
