In [[1592]], the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Rose Tyler]] encountered Shakespeare at [[the Rose]] [[theatre]], where he was to perform [[Richard III of England|the lead part]] on the premiere night of his play ''[[Richard III (play)|Richard III]]''. At the Doctor's request, Rose agreed to distract Shakespeare from the stage "with a hey nonny nonny", telling him [[Queen]] [[Elizabeth I]] was ready to immediately give him a royal audience at his home, in an attempt to stop the [[Shadey]]-influenced [[Robert Greene]] from [[murder]]ing him. When the two reached his house and found no Elizabeth, Shakespeare interpreted it as an attempt by Rose "to wrest [him] to [her] side". However, Greene soon appeared with the Shadeys and demonstrated his powers. Although Shakespeare dismissed the "[[magic]]" of the "[[clay]]-[[brain]]ed [[fool]]" as "an [[illusion]]", Rose pulled him away and they ran back to theatre, where the Doctor had taken up the role of Richard III at short notice. Shakespeare was initially more concerned with the Doctor's unscheduled intrusion onto his stage, calling him a "[[dog]]" and reclaiming Richard's hump from the Doctor's back. He also briefly put [[Earth]] in further peril by continuing to antagonise Greene. Nevertheless, the Doctor and Rose eventually defused the situation and convinced Greene to banish the Shadeys back to their own [[dimension]]. Shakespeare was unfazed by the whole experience and refused to let "such trick-shows" interfere with his future career.
