Celebrity gossip has NEVER been juicer than this. 

Like, literally. It’s the 1660s. We just invented celebrities last week.

Valentino reaches out to Edward "Ned" Kynaston, star actor of the King's Company, who was once the most revered and adored "boy player" of the pre-actress era. Convinced he can help Ned with modern ideas, he hopes their conversation will be the key to getting back home...no matter how jealous Valentino and Ned's chemistry might make Samuel. But when things go awry, Jane steps in with an intriguing offer...an offer that definitely isn't a trap, no way.
