Your Majesty.
QUEEN
Stand up straight, girl.
QUEEN (CONT'D)
I have seen you. You are the one who
comes to all the plays--at Whitehall,
at Richmond.
VIOLA
(agreeing)
Your Majesty.
QUEEN
What do you love so much?
VIOLA
Your Majesty
QUEEN
Speak out! I know who I am. Do you
love stories of kings and queens?
Feats of arms? Or is it courtly love?
VIOLA
I love theatre. To have stories acted
for me by a company of fellows is
indeed
QUEEN
(interrupting)
They are not acted for you, they are
acted for me.
VIOLA remains silent, in apology.
WILL is watching and listening. He has never seen the QUEEN
so close. He is fascinated.
QUEEN (CONT'D)
And--?
VIOLA
And I love poetry above all.
QUEEN
Above Lord Wessex?
She looks over VIOLA'S shoulder and VIOLA realises WESSEX
has moved up behind her. WESSEX bows.
QUEEN (CONT'D)
(to WESSEX)
My Lord--when you cannot find your wife
you had better look for her at the
playhouse.
QUEEN (CONT'D)
But playwrights teach nothing about
love, they make it pretty, they make
it comical, or they make it lust. They
cannot make it true.
VIOLA
(blurts)
Oh, but they can!
I mean...Your Majesty, they do not, they
have not, but I believe there is one
who can
WESSEX
Lady Viola is...young in the world. Your
Majesty is wise in it.
Nature and truth are the very enemies
of playacting. I'll wager my fortune.
QUEEN
I thought you were here because you
had none.
QUEEN (CONT'D)
(by way of dismissing him)
Well, no one will take your wager, it
seems.
WILL
Fifty pounds!
Shock and horror. QUEEN ELIZABETH is the only person
amused.
QUEEN
Fifty pounds! A very worthy sum on a
very worthy question. Can a play show
us the very truth and nature of love?
I bear witness to the wager, and will
be the judge of it as occasion arises.
I have not seen anything to settle it
yet.
So--the fireworks will be soothing
after the excitements of Lady Viola's
audience.
(and now she is next to
WESSEX who is bowing low.
Intimately to him)
Have her then, but you are a lordly
fool. She has been plucked since I saw
her last, and not by you. It takes a
woman to know it.
