Tutto soggiace alla falce del Tempo, che ruba le cose care all'uomo. Solo nella poesia si può crearle di nuovo. All'alba del XXI secolo, dopo un sonno pluricentenario, viene ritrovato e battuto all'asta a Vienna il dramma perduto di Shakespeare: una trilogia teatrale su Dante Alighieri. Si scopre così che, per riuscire nell'impresa impossibile di raccontare il Sommo Poeta e la sua Divina Commedia, ci voleva il Sommo Drammaturgo: il genio di Stratford ha narrato l'intera vita di Dante intrecciandola con la trama del suo capolavoro, con le immagini sconvolgenti di Inferno, Purgatorio e Paradiso.
