During England's Puritan era, the roles of women on stage were played by men, and Ned (Billy Crudup) portrayed many women. But when Ned is beaten up and can't play "Desdemona," his dresser, Maria (Claire Danes), takes on the role. Now, the Puritans are out of power, and Charles II decides that women should be on stage. This leaves Ned out in the cold–until rising-star Maria finally catches his eye.
