Production
Pre-production began in June 2024, with filming expected to start the following summer. Paul Ready was cast as the ghost of William Shakespeare, starring alongside Elliot Grihault, Tim Downie, and Mark Lavery. In supporting roles are Noah Manzoor, James Craven, and Anya Preston. Peter Lavery is writer-director, with producer Joe Andrews and executive producer Johnny Gogan. The production company is Clover Fox Films. Peter Lavery wrote that the film's goal is to help young adults look past Shakespeare's archaic language and see his "timeless depictions of human emotions, such as love, friendship, betrayal, and grief", stories which "if thematically understood can make you feel seen and heard."
