Since he couldn't get a conventional cinema or TV release for it (he made it for the ABC but they still haven't shown it), he went on the road with it himself, screening it wherever he could, and usually not at regular cinema-type places (I saw it in a small room in a National Trust gallery at Observatory Hill). I don't know if I was convinced that Marlowe was the real man behind the works of Shakespeare, but I did leave the screening and discussion session reasonably convinced that not only was the question "did Shakespeare write Shakespeare's plays?" an interesting one (I never gave it much time before) but that it had legs too. Remarkable what passions it stirs in people, too... 2663@blogcritics.org Thu, 2 Jan 2003 10:07:57 EST
