Have Former Marlowian  mutated ?

 On the occasion of the  Annual Conference (24-27 September 2015) of the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship (SOF) in Ashland (Oregon -  Home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival) , Jeff Riley, News Director of  the "Jefferson Public Radio"(RPR)  made an
                              
               
--> Radio Interview

with Kevin Gilvary, Ros Barber and Alexander Waugh (2 "Oxie's and 1 Anti-Strad') spending  the hour laying out the case of the SOF (i.e. that Oxford was the true Shakespeare. ) 

To my great surprise two questions of  Jeff Riley  made it clear, that Ros Barber is by no means (or no more) an open  Marlowian.!
Question Jeff  Riley (1) : "What do you see as some of the holes in the Oxford Arguments because you do not buy it is necessarily the Earl of Oxford."

Answer Ros Barber (1) . "Well I am open - you know - to the Oxfordian theory. I am kind of interested in - You know - trying to make the authorship case a valid question that's the most important thing as far as I am concerned..."

Question Jeff Riley (2): Is there a stronger case to be made for Marlowe [than for  Oxford]
Answer Ros Barber (2) [... not answering the question.....] I like the Marlowe case for a number of reasons, partly because he is a very successful writer up to the point where he is supposed to have died (.....) A very interesting dramatic character,  he is the kind of a person - you know- you may want to write these great works...


What an amazing uncourageous "spineless"  answer from a former Marlowian.- Perhaps we have to understand her, she was a polite  guest invited at the " Annual Oxford conference".
