In her tudor kitchen she prepares Bird’s Eye ‘Cod in Mushroom Sauce’ remembering that Will has always said ‘to thine own self be true’. She brings the meal to the living quarters where her husband awaits his dinner. Shakespeare enquires if it was made by her own fair hand. His wife replies ‘it’s as you like it, Will’.
