Nothing Is Truer than Truth
Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, A-list party boy on the continental circuit, spent a year and a half in Venice studying about commedia dell'arte and accumulating the experiences that would become Shakespeare's plays. The film visits the locations of THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, OTHELLO, ROMEO & JULIET, and TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, which De Vere visited in 1575-76. Featuring Sir Derek Jacobi, Mark Rylance, Tina Packer, and Diane Paulus, the film contends that De Vere's bisexuality is the cause behind the pseudonym Shake-speare.
