If we see someone unknown to us weeping, natural human sympathy wants to know why. And if we can help. If we […] SO Olivier wasn’t a doubter then, not like Gielgud. If Shakespeare Authorship were a cake. Doubters make up the icing on the cake. The foundation of the cake is the world of scholars, pejoratively known as Orthodox Stratfordians. It’s a solid base but crumbly. The filling is the rest of the world. All those […] …okay, Makker’s workshop today at the Christelijk Lyceum in Zeist.
