WHAT'S IT ABOUT? 17th Century period drama. A sex-obsessed, aristocratic playwright drinks himself into a flesh-rotting disease. Upsets the King with pornographic tales.

ANY GOOD? A brooding, high brow Carry On flick written by Shakespeare. Debauched, poetic and wordy!

BEST BITS: The performance of the Earl's play for King Charles II: dancing women with dildos, oral sex and a midget riding a giant cock on wheels!

THIS IS: A distinct improvement over the Queen 'We Will Rock You' show in the West End.
