Merely Players present FAKESPEARE, a deceptively truthful tale by Stuart Fortey.
There are two problems with deception.
The first is being found out.
The second is not being found out.
In 1794, noted antiquarian Samuel Ireland is delighted when his son William brings him unknown documents in the hand of Shakespeare, obtained from an anonymous source. But scholars question their authenticity and denounce Samuel as a forger. The household is thrown into turmoil and family skeletons come tumbling out of cupboards …
In 2026, Samuel, William and their housekeeper Mrs Freeman meet again to sort out the truth of it all, if such a thing is possible …
