The Politics of Shakespeare
A political thriller that chronicles Medieval England during the succession of Elizabeth I. It advances the theory that the Earl of Oxford penned Shakespeare’s plays.
The film presents a gritty an un-romanticized view of “Shakespeare” during the Elzabethian reign. It focuses less on the authenticity of authorship in favor of artistic freedom and the subsequent clash with an authority unwilling to relinquish power.
