Young Queen Elizabeth I talks to the young Earl of Oxford about his play in Anonymous
Ah, there he is. Your father tells me you wrote this evening's play yourself. I did indeed your majesty. You sport with me. My Lord of Oxford. It seems you've added a poet to your family's long line of warriors. Madam! I'm as accomplished with the sword and the musket, as I am in verse. Are you indeed? It is my only desire to one day be your majesty's most trusted servant. In matters both of war and state. If you will but have me.
My Lord Cecil, we may very well have found your replacement. We hope not too soon your majesty. And what thought you of our young Lord's play William? If plays are indeed such a sin. I prey that I do not find my salvation until very late in life.
Scene with Joely Richardson as the young Queen Elizabeth I, Jamie Campbell Bower as the young Young Earl of Oxford and David Thewlis as William Cecil.
