Whoo-hoo. fellow theatre buffs. I love the whole speculation about Shakespeare's true identity. Such fun if it really is a pseudonym and we've been freaking out over it for the last 400 years.
Though I have to say... perhaps the lame "there's no mystery" climax actually applies here...? If the real W. Shakespeare were a semi-anonymous theatre person, why would his brother have been buried in Southwark Cathedral, right next to John Fletcher? Even as is, it seems like it's too much to do for a relative..
