What if everything

You knew about Shakespeare

was a Lie?

This video presents the intriguing idea that William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon was not the actual author of the famous plays and poems.It highlights the lack of historical evidence connecting the Stratford man to the literary works.

Instead, the video suggests that Christopher Marlowe, a contemporary playwright, possessed the necessary background, education, and knowledge to have written the Shakespearean canon.

The theory proposes that Marlowe faked his reported death in 1593, to escape execution, and then continued to write under the pseudonym Shakespeare, noting that Shakespeare's plays began appearing shortly after Marlowe's supposed demise.
