Lockdown Christmas 1603
The plague has hit London, and as Christmas approaches, Will and Kate are in wave fifteen of state-enforced home confinement together in Will’s London lodgings. As Kate fills endless time with baking, hoarding, clapping and DIY haircuts, Will is doing his absolute best to use the lock-in to pen a classic for the new king so his head doesn’t end up in a basket. The problem is he has zero inspiration. Can Will come up with the perfect play? And far from their friends and loved ones, will he and Kate find a way to create their own kind of Christmas cheer?
