The idea for Shakespeare in Love came to screenwriter Marc Norman in the late 1980s.The Italian verse tale The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet had been translated into English by Arthur Brooke in 1562, 32 years before Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The biggest historical liberty concerns the central theme of Shakespeare struggling to create the story of Romeo and Juliet as he simply adapted an existing story for theatre. Between Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth night, Shakespeare wrote ten other plays over a period of six years.

Elizabeth I never entered a public theatre, as she does in the film. A leading character is a member of the House of Wessex, which died out in 1066. The film is "not constrained by worries about literary or historical accuracy" and includes anachronisms such as a reference to Virginia tobacco plantations, at a time before the Colony of Virginia existed.>As the company rehearses his new play, Will and Viola's love is transferred to the written page leading to the masterpiece that is. Shakespeare soon sees through her disguise and they begin a love affair, one they know cannot end happily for them as he is already married and she has been promised to the dour Lord Wessex. Dressing as a man and going by the name of Thomas Kent, she auditions and is ideal for a part in his next play. She is also a great admirer of Shakespeare's works. She loves the theatre and would like nothing more than to take to the stage but is forbidden from doing so as only men can be actors. >He is in search of his muse, the woman who will inspire him but all attempts fail him until he meets the beautiful Viola de Lesseps. >Will Shakespeare is a known but struggling poet, playwright and actor who not only has sold his next play to both Philip Henslow and Richard Burbidge but now faces a far more difficult problem: he is bereft of ideas and has yet to begin writing.
