In April 1596 the Lord Admiral’s Players come to Stratford, and young Nicholas Attwood, son of a stern tanner, runs off with them. His beautiful singing makes him ‘Master Skylark’, the favourite of London audiences and even the Queen, but the master-player Gaston Carew will not let him go home, and Nick must find his own way back, with help from Will Shakespeare.
