A fascinating, witty and characteristically exuberant dramatic
exploration of the Shakespeare authorship debate. Is it possible
that the son of an illiterate tradesman, from a small market town
in Warwickshire, could have written the greatest dramatic works the
world has ever seen? It's a question that has puzzled scholars,
theatre practitioners and theatregoers for many years. The
philosopher, Francis Bacon; the Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere; and
Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke: all of them have been put
forward as the real author of the plays. But why would they hide
behind an anonymous actor? Who was the real Bard of Stratford? Why
should we care? Mark Rylance is one of a number of leading actors
who seriously question the idea that William Shakespeare was the
man behind the thirty-seven plays that have moved, inspired and
amazed generations. First performed at the Minerva Theatre,
Chichester, in 2007, and subsequently on tour, Rylance's
provocative play introduces us to four candidates and their
respective claims - whilst asking fundamental questions about what
makes a genius, and why it all matters anyway.
