Not Rubbish

Contrary to the review above titled "rubbish," there is zero documentary evidence, not one word, rumor, or whisper that William Shakespeare did not write the plays and poems. Alternately, there is an abundance of documentation showing that not only was Will Shakespeare of Stratford the author but that it should never at any time have been in doubt.Anyway, on to the short documentary. It is very well done, superficial but nothing much in it to quibble about except what had to be left out due to the 42-minute run time. The commentators from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust add authority to the presentation but some speculations that may be good guesses are stated as a fact. Nettles was a good choice and has the right voice as narrator.

rubbish

There's a lot of good evidence that shakespeare never wrote the plays he's given credit for. Apart from his plays, his will is the only surviving piece of evidence he even existed so making an accurate film of his life seems pretty unlikely. There are no copies of his plays written in shakespeare's hand that exist today. His handwritten will is the only evidence that he ever lived. How is it possible that for hundreds of years we've been taught shakespeare was the greatest english writer? I dunno. Ask lance armstrong. Producing films like this certainly helps perpetuate the myth.
