The Most Unkindest Cut of All

Short Summary
Will has decided to write a play about the life of Julius Caesar. The only problem is how to deal with his assassination. After all, Her Majesty is not likely to approve of any play about doing in the head of state, and Robert Greene is particularly keen to label Will a traitor.

It is a time of betrayal at the Red Lion Theatre, as Will plots to remove Condell from all his female roles, while Condell turns on Burbage for hogging the limelight. However, his attention quickly turns to usurping his replacement, Toby, even if it means denying Kate her chance at marriage with someone she likes.
