Bard, The

Synopsis
Independent low-budget short made by teenagers. In 1593, two playwrights ruled the stage in London, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. On May 30, history recorded that four men met together in a Deptford lodging house. At the end of that night, one playwright was dead. Lost to history, however, there was one more man in the room.
