Look closely at this portrait. Is this really the man who wrote all those great plays? C'mon. Isn't it more than strange that what we supposedly "know" about Shakespeare's life contributes very little to our understanding of his work - in fact, only complicates the mystery. I could go for a grand old "royal conspiracy" on this one. Would anyone care to venture a theory on one of the usual suspects: Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, Edward de Vere (the 17th Earl of Oxford), Amelia Bassano Lanier (a.k.a. the Dark Lady) - or perhaps someone new and overlooked? I'm game...
