Synopsis
Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, ANONYMOUS
speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics
and brilliant minds such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Sigmund
Freud, namely: who actually created the body of work credited to
William Shakespeare?
Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have
devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding
the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature.
ANONYMOUS poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when
scandalous political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court,
and the schemes of greedy nobles lusting for the power of the throne
were brought to light in the most unlikely of places: the London
stage.
