==Plot==
Nat Field is recruited by Arby, whose real name is Richard Burbage. Arby is a producer intent on reenacting the Globe Theatre in London and reproducing Shakespeare's plays the way they were 400 years ago. The company of boys, said to be the best, are handpicked by Arby from all over America. Nat acts as an aerial sprite, Puck, from ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. However, he suddenly falls ill and is taken to the hospital, feared to have bubonic plague. The night before he goes to the hospital, he dreams of being tossed high above the earth and then pulled firmly back. He wakes up in a different room with a boy talking to him in a heavy Elizabethan accent (Elizabethan English). He has traveled back 400 years in time, to the year 1599, when the Globe Theatre was first built. He meets Shakespeare and acts with him in the play he had rehearsed for in his own time, and experiences theater as it was originally intended. He becomes a very good friend to Shakespeare, almost like a son to him. Before he knows it, he is back in the hospital bed, awake and unsure whether what he experienced was real. Later, Gil Warmun and Rachel Levin, his co-actors from the present time, try to find out who he was 400 years ago.
