The Shakespeare Secret, the novel…

…was given to me by a friend who had the same idea for another medium and then discovered the book. He read it and his after the first 200 pages or so it got better review it didn’t seem particularly thrilling a thriller. But it is Shakespeare based so I took it and filed it […]

End of year 2010

Our thanks to all the readers of this blog.

May the New Year bring us that long awaited personal diary of William Shakespeare, another 20 First Folios and the Earl of Southampton’s or Ned Alleyne’s personal annotated copy of Q1609 Sonnets.

Let the fireworks commence!

The many lives of W…

…from the 1580’s until 1610’s.

Like Quincey Jones our Will’s career be it as lame actor or genius writer spans 30-40 years. Assuming his career start to be in the London theatre milieu of mid-1580’s. He may have had some amateur practice if these events are taken into account as by Eric Sams.

Friday evening, emergency service sirens…

…lowing en masse towards the plaats delict. An evening home alone, twittering birds for company. Twitter too if I wanted it to be.

I’ll be facebooking this post later when it’s done, but for now the synapses snap to deciding what indeed to write. So much to tell, not enough of the material read, […]

Sh and libraries…

…spent more than enough time in ’em looking for him and those about him. So what was his experience of libraries?

Libraries were few and far between. And the Conspiracists use this to their supposed advantage, saying where oh where could a mere Shakespeare browse and study?

Well here’s one probable answer.

The largest […]

Slate slates Anonymous…

…so they take a visit to Babelsberg to see the film in production. And sensation it’s going to be. No explosions but implosions of the mind.

Sing: “Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the murky streets of Elizabethan London. I’ll show you something that’ll make you change your mind”.

Another reply to a professional doubter…

…ok i admit i’m an idiot. I can’t help myself. It’s funny those on my side of the fence shake their heads and say why waste your time? and those on the other shake their gory locks and shudder at how wrong we all are. I know where i stand

Hi Howard,

I see you […]
