Yep. I have the book the DVD. The “mystery” surrounding Shakespeare was the fact that he had to hide his true opinions because Bloody Bess ran a regime that was truly terroristic in nature. He was probably the only playwright during that time who was never jailed for what he wrote. He was very clever. The wedding scene in “Romeo and Juliet” was a fictionalized version of his own marriage clandestinely contracted with a Catholic priest. Later, after Ann was pregnant they had a wedding ceremony in an Anglican church. So, today people will believe that they were pregnant “out of wedlock” when they got married.

Which reminds me of a book titled The Tudor Police State. What a terrible time to be alive. We have a ways to go . . . but we're getting there!

I will have to get that DVD.
