The Boy Who Became Queen

"A beautiful, enchanting story of a boy's journey from rags to theatre riches. Told with heart and spectacle." Sir Derek Jacobi

Set in lively Elizabethan London, this story follows Jack, an orphan street singer with a remarkable voice. His talent catches the eye of the Blackfriars singing troupe, and soon he’s performing at the royal court where William Shakespeare notices him.

At the Queen’s request, Jack begins working at the Globe Theatre, learning the ropes and helping out. Shakespeare has bigger plans, though—he needs a special boy to play Queen Titania in his new play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Can Jack rise to the occasion?
