Das Shakespeare Rätsel (2011)

Actors

Plot
He's the most famous author in the world, but did he really write the works transmitted under his name? Scholars have long tried to explain Shakespeare's surprising success: after all, he had no university degree, no influential contacts and apparently owned not one single book.

Was Shakespeare a Fraud?

Quotes:

William Shakespeare: ...and the whole bloody thing in verse.::Ben Jonson: It's really not that difficult... if you try.::William Shakespeare: Oh, and have you ever tried? But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun...::Ben Jonson: You. Cannot. Play Romeo.::William Shakespeare: What! Why not? I'm perfect for the role. I'm perfect! I will not let that oaf Spencer have another go at one of my roles. No! Only Will Shakespeare can pump the life into Romeo's veins!... And his codpiece.

Ben Jonson: Politics? My play has nothing to do with politics. I-i-i-it's just a simple comedy.::Earl of Oxford: It showed your betters as fools who'd go through life barely managing to get food from plate to mouth were it not for the cleverness of their servants. All art is political, Jonson, otherwise it would just be decoration. And all artists have something to say, otherwise they'd make shoes. And you are not a cobbler, are you Jonson.

Young Earl of Oxford: [after sword gets knocked into young Robert Cecil's chess game] You were losing anyway.::Boy Robert Cecil: [had been playing alone] I was also winning!::Young Earl of Oxford: [tosses a piece back at Robert, who misses it] Really?

Prologue: Though our story is at an end, our poet's is not; for his monument is everliving. Not of stone but of verse. And it shall be remembered. As long as words are made of breath. And breath of life.

Ben Jonson: You are the soul of the age... Undeniable perfection that plagued my soul.

Robert Cecil: Plays are the work of the devil - born from a cesspool of plague, whoredom, thievery, fornication, and heresy.

Anne De Vere: You, your friends, your blasphemous theater have brought nothing but ruin and dishonor to this family.::Ben Jonson: Ruin? Dishonor? My lady, you, your family, even I, even Queen Elizabeth herself will be remembered solely because we had the honor to live whilst your husband put ink to paper.

Earl of Oxford: All art is political, Jonson. Otherwise it would just be decoration.

The Bard (2010)

Actors

Plot
In 1593, two playwrights ruled the stage in London, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. On May 30, history recorded that four men met together in a Deptford lodging house. At the end of that night, one great playwright was dead. Lost to history, however, there was one more man in the room. In this thrilling, dramatized historical short film, all is revealed about this murder most foul.

Ye Olde Agent (2005)

Actors

Plot
On the 30th May 1593, the same day he eventually meets his fate, Christopher Marlowe uses his good friend Sir Walter Raleigh as a reference to procure a meeting with Shakespeare's sleazy agent, Mark Orfice, at his agency Talented Writers In Theater, (T.W.I.T). Although incompetent and clueless the Agent interviews Marlowe and makes him read from his latest parchment the 'King's Fear'. Marlowe is impressed by the head shots (drawings) of the actors that the Agent represents; Barely Maninuff (Barry Manilow) Chuck Gunnery (Sean Connery) Nigel Blackbum (Micheal Jackson)and Tony Scotchkins (Anthony Hopkins) amongst others. Marlowe leaves his parchments with the agent and exits to meet with his soon to be murderers in Deptford. The agent instantly rings William Shakespeare on the string and goblet phone and pitches Marlowe's parchment, now calling it the 'King's Lair' as if it were his own idea. And hence the rumor is started...

Shakespeare in Love (1998)

Actors

Plot
Will Shakespeare is a known but struggling poet, playwright and actor who not only has sold his next play to both Philip Henslow and Richard Burbidge but now faces a far more difficult problem: he is bereft of ideas and has yet to begin writing. He is in search of his muse, the woman who will inspire him but all attempts fail him until he meets the beautiful Viola de Lesseps. She loves the theatre and would like nothing more than to take to the stage but is forbidden from doing so as only men can be actors. She is also a great admirer of Shakespeare's works. Dressing as a man and going by the name of Thomas Kent, she auditions and is ideal for a part in his next play. Shakespeare soon see through her disguise and they begin a love affair, one they know cannot end happily for them as he is already married and she has been promised to the dour Lord Wessex. As the company rehearses his new play, Will and Viola's love is transferred to the written page leading to the masterpiece that is Romeo and Juliet.

...A Comedy About the Greatest Love Story Almost Never Told...
Love is the only inspiration

Quotes:

William Shakespeare: A broad river divides my lovers: family, duty, fate. As unchangeable as nature.

Lord Wessex: How is this to end?::Queen Elizabeth: As stories must when love's denied: with tears and a journey.

Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.::Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?::Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.::Hugh Fennyman: How?::Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.

Philip Henslowe: [Repeated line] I don't know. It's a mystery.

Queen Elizabeth: You are an eager boy. Did you like the play?::John Webster: I liked it when she stabbed herself, Your Majesty.

Richard Burbage: The Master of the Revels despises us all for vagrants and peddlers of bombast. But my father, James Burbage, had the first license to make a company of players from Her Majesty, and he drew from poets the literature of the age. We must show them that we are men of parts. Will Shakespeare has a play. I have a theatre. The Curtain is yours.

Hugh Fennyman: Uh, one moment, sir.::Ned Alleyn: Who are you?::Hugh Fennyman: I'm, uh... I'm the money.::Ned Alleyn: Then you may remain so long as you remain silent.

[first lines]::Philip Henslowe: [screams in pain]::Hugh Fennyman: Henslowe! Do you know what happens to a man who doesn't pay his debts? His boots catch fire!::Philip Henslowe: [screams]::Hugh Fennyman: Why do you howl when it is I who am bitten?

Lord Wessex: I have spoken with your father.::Viola De Lesseps: So, my lord? I speak with him every day.

William Shakespeare: Good title.::Christopher Marlowe: Yours?::William Shakespeare: "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter". - Oh, yes, I know, I know.::Christopher Marlowe: What is the story?::William Shakespeare: Well, there's this pirate. - In truth I have not written a word.

Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, performed by Oxford Theatre Guild, December 2013

Order: Reorder
Duration: 113:27
Updated: 25 Dec 2013

Bored with study, Doctor Faustus looks for a short cut to infinite knowledge in his magic books -- and raises Satan's little helper, Mephistopheles, who joins the renegade scholar as they rampage across Europe. Faustus squanders the Devil's promised prize of knowing it all in his pursuit of shallow and hedonistic pleasures; after all, the payment demand for his immortal soul seems so insignificant. In a world where the internet grants us boundless knowledge and we fill precious time with cat antics, pornography and celebrity tittle-tattle, Faustus, a mischievous, party loving hell raiser, knows he should find salvation, but doesn't time fly when you're having fun? OTG's devilish production of Marlowe's classic play sets the timeless story of wasted opportunities against a background of 24 hour TV, confessional chat shows and cheap thrills. And in the wings, something shadowy is waiting for us with infinite patience, ready to collect... The A Text, with minor revisions, some lines re-apportioned. Performed between December 17 and 21st 2013, staged at the Old Fire Station in Oxford.
