Generally, I find conspiracy theories rather dubious. However, the theory that Edward DeVere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true author of the Shakespearean plays I accepted as more than plausible several years before I saw this documentary. This documentary, presented by the great English actor Sir Derek Jacobi and contributed to by the equally fantastic Dame Siân Phillips, seems to cover any arguments for or against this theory. After viewing this DVD the viewer can't help but be challenged to rethink his or her acceptance of the status quo concerning this subject.
