Director : Roland Emmerich
Running Time : 130 mins
The Earl of Oxford, Edward De Vere (Ifans), loves nothing more than writing plays to impress the queen, Elizabeth I (Redgrave), but when it becomes wildly believed that all plays are the work of the devil her starts getting them performed using a frontman, William Shakespeare (Spall).
The well-known conspiracy theory of William Shakespeare being a fake and that another truly wrote his plays is an old theory that, in spite of its age, has never really been played out on screen. Ifans is very entertaining as the true Bard, the Earl of Oxford, and Redgrave does a wonderful Queen Elizabeth I, and the way in which the facts unravel on screen is very cleverly done.
