Was Shakespeare a Fraud?
Directed by Roland Emmerich
Produced by Centropolis Entertainment, Columbia Pictures
A cerebral historical thriller that challenges literary authorship through court intrigue, secrecy, and political danger in Elizabethan England.
Set against the backdrop of the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, and the Essex Rebellion against her, the story advances the theory that it was in fact Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford who penned Shakespeare's plays.
