The theory that it was in fact Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford, who penned Shakespeare’s plays. Set against the backdrop of the succession of Queen Elizabeth I and the Essex rebellion against her.

A great period piece. This movie was excellent. Of course, I did minor in English Literature, and Shakespeare was also very fascinating. While we may never know who really wrote Shakespeare’s works, this is definitely a good theory. While there were obvious period factual flaws, it was an amazing movie. It is a shame that works of this nature do not appeal to the less enlightened populace.

Rating: 4.8 out of 5.
