In 1790's London, rumors circled about a supposed new discovery of works by Shakespeare, but it turns out they were forged by a young man named Wiliam Henry Ireland. In his desire to impress his father, Henry ended up starting a lie that quickly gets out of his control. And the mysterious Mr. H, who may or may not be a figment of his imagination, circles around the entire scene.
This musical, based on a true story, premiered in 2023 in South Korea.
