Humble Maria, who outfits top London theater star Ned Kynaston, takes none of the credit for the male actor's success at playing women. And because this is the 17th century, Maria, like other females, is prohibited from pursuing her dream of acting. But when powerful people support her, King Charles II lifts the ban on female stage performers. And just as Maria aided Ned, she needs his help to learn her new profession.

Really a movie that slipped by the radar that deserved much more acclaim. So different and interesting. Excellent acting!

Very postmodern historical drama in that it’s all about the constructedness of the concept of a woman as portrayed on the stage at the time.

Pretty good. Historical inaccuracies, obviously, but it’ll keep you entertained!

This was incredibly good! I really enjoyed this

At first I wasn’t sure, but it wound up being sensational! The passion was off the charts. Billy & Claire are amazing as was supporting cast

Surprised at how good this was! Great performances and a lot of layers to the characters plus pretty fun at moments
