This isn't just another who-wrote-Shakespeare book. We're now at the 400 anniversary of the great deception of 1623, and we ask, how come it was so successful? This should be an epic tale of interest to every Englishman - whereby the great genius was marginalised, and a guy who could not read or write got all the credit! Then the 'Gunpowder plot' of 1605 wasn't at all what it appeared to be. Both of these ploys were brilliantly successful, the latter in pulverising forever the hopes of English Catholics. Both event concern theatre, where what you are presented with is far from being what really happened. Its time we took a new approach to these great English mysteries.
