Shakespeare in Court (Kindle Single)

â€œFAMOUS CHARITY TURNS DOWN THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT $67,000 BY EXPLAINING ITS OWN CAUSE!â€

This explosive new salvo in the hard-fought war over the identity of William Shakespeare exposes the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, a registered charity from Stratford-upon-Avon, as a prime source of misinformation and subversion concerning the life and times of the Worldâ€™s greatest playwright. Author and Shakespearean scholar, Alexander Waugh, provocatively accuses the Trust of â€œmaking false statementsâ€ about its tourist museums, of concealing information about Shakespeare authorship, of abusing those who challenge or contradict its â€œexpert authorityâ€ and of having â€œa clear and obvious conflict of interest concerning its revenues and its representation of Shakespearean history.â€

With wit, ingenuity and a profound knowledge of his subject, Waugh combines his exposÃ© of the Birthplace Trust and those individuals driving its â€œAuthorship Campaign,â€ with a dramatic courtroom cross-examination of â€œa typical orthodox Shakespeare pundit.â€ This lively scene, written in sharp, confrontational dialogue, challenges the traditional belief that Shakespeareâ€™s works were composed by an illiterate butcherâ€™s apprentice from the British Midlands and clearly reveals why the case for Shakespeare of Stratford, if submitted to the judicial scrutiny of any court of law, would be instantly dismissed.
