And, actually, folks, don't read this weirdo's book. The best proof that Shakespeare was Shakespeare is the book AC mentioned above:



There's also a terrifc BBC documentary narrated by Michael Wood called "In Search of Shakespeare."



It's on PBS Home Video and available on Netflix:
In Search of Shakespeare

I think the actors wrote the plays. They probably improvised scenes and somebody just wrote down what sounded good.

Actually, many of the plays were transcribed during performance - allowing the transcriber to add and arrange things apart from what Shakespeare or the actors had performed. These were later edited and put in the folio or quarto. That is why there are slightly different versions of the plays. (See Hamlet for example) So, in many ways, you are right Gothampc.

That being said, Contested Will is the way to go. Personally I feel the plays stand apart from the author but I believe Shakespeare was a man of exceptional talent from Stratford Upon Avon.

The OP is a tool. If I want to post my wild assertions that his theory is sh*t, I will.

Everyone knows that James Patterson and his team of ghostwriters were responsible for every single one of those plays.

Eris, you slay me!
