The Shakespeare enigma
de Ashley Franklin, Steve Orme
"Long considered the world's greatest writer, Shakespeare the man all but eludes biographers-leading some scholars to doubt they are one and the same. Filmed at salient locations around England, this program explores the four main theories of the Bard's true identity. Professor Stanley Wells of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust defends Shakespeare's authorship. Francis Carr and Mark Rylance, artistic director of The Globe Theatre, argue for Francis Bacon. A. D. Wraight of the Marlowe Society proposes that poet and playwright Christopher Marlowe is the real author, while Elizabeth Imlay champions Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford. Manuscripts, excerpts, and scenes from the plays are used to support each theory."--Container.
