Upstart Crow | S1E6: The Quality of Mercy
Shakespearean sitcom: there's money to be made investing in cargo from the New World, but while Marlowe invests in tobacco and potato products, Will would rather invest in building a new theatre. When Will's savings go missing, he's forced to make a rather unusual bargain with his rival Robert Greene. Kate's frustration with the lack of roles for women leads her to make a dramatic intervention.
