Beschreibung
The controversy over who really wrote Shakespeare's plays has been around almost since they were written. Was the genius behind the plays really that obscure glover's son from Stratford? Or was it someone else entirelya man whose class, background, education, and peculiarities make him a more than plausible candidate?In The Which of Shakespeare's Why, a 21st-century playwright named Harry Haines makes the case for a major contender via a play he himself is writing for a struggling New Jersey theatre company. Faced with strong disapproval from the ';Stratfordites' and with the backing of supporters that sometimes takes some unusual forms, Harry attempts, against great odds, to get the play written and staged. In the process he has to overcome his own doubts, stay on the right side of the right people, keep his romantic life under control, and deal with not only a difficult actress or two but a flock of opinionated Rockettes. Part hilarious farce, part serious critical examination, The Which of Shakespeare's Why provides a thought-provoking look at a controversial puzzle with a surprising, ingenious, and wholly satisfying ending that Shakespearewhoever he waswould have given a standing ovation.
