By 1820, Edmund Kean is the most admired Shakespearan actor. But if his art is peerless, his free lifestyle is ill thought of, particularly by the high society. Kean has fallen passionately in love with Countess Elena de Koefeld, the wife of the ambassador of Denmark. Elena loves him too but hesitates to give up her rank in society and follow Kean. On the other hand, Anna, a rich heiress who refuses to marry Lord Mewill, the husband chosen by her parents, confesses her love for Kean and decides to become an actress like him... The aristocrats, outraged by Edmund's profligate ways, decide to boycott his performances and his career is broken. Kean does not recover from such a blow and, on a stormy night, dies in Elena's arms.张总一下子就从老板椅上面站了起来，鼓着眼睛说什么，还打桩不下去？说完就转头看着妍妍，妍妍似乎有点忍不住笑，嘴巴撇了一下，然后马上鼓了鼓，眉头一皱，用手摸了两下腮帮，淡淡的说走，再去祭口看看吧。说完就往门口走去，我们都跟了上去。
