Actor Edward =93Ned=94 Kynaston (Billy Crudup) may well be the most desired=
 man in all of London. The Restoration is in full swing, and enthusiastic =
=0D
audiences of aristocrats and commoners pack the theatres that were shuttere=
d during the Puritans=92 joyless rule. With only men permitted to =0D
tread the boards, the greatest ardor is reserved for the actor who is the c=
omplete =93female stage beauty=94 - and indisputably, Ned Kynaston is =0D
that actor. Lusted after by women and men alike, Ned commands all the perks=
 of a star; at the same time, he is a dedicated actor who runs =0D
lines with his stage dresser Maria (Claire Danes), who quietly adores him. =
Every night, Ned=92s death scene as Desdemona in =93Othello=94 stops the =
=0D
show. But the winds of change are blowing - and they sound like the rustlin=
g of women=92s skirts. Ironically, it is Maria who ushers in a new era =0D
with her pseudonymous portrayal of Desdemona in an after-hours pub producti=
on of =93Othello.=94 After years of men-as-women, Maria is a =0D
sensation, a novelty whose time has come. King Charles II (Rupert Everett),=
 prodded by his saucy, stage-struck mistress Nell Gwynn (Zoe =0D
Tapper), not only overturns the ban on actresses but also prohibits men fro=
m playing female roles. Overnight, Ned=92s career is ruined as a host =0D
of fledgling actresses take on the parts that he once owned body and soul. =
Ned is headed for a has-been=92s twilight in tawdry attractions - that =0D
is, until Maria takes it upon herself to make an actor of him again. Finall=
y, the masks fall away to reveal Ned and Maria=92s true feelings, but not =
=0D
before Ned undergoes a profound inner journey to discover his complete iden=
