Shakespeare's Ghost
“SHAKESPEARE’S GHOST“ written and directed by Vivienne McKee is a murder mystery based on the playwright who wrote the greatest works of English literature. Could Stratford-born Shakespeare, with his meagre education and ignorance of the aristocracy, have written "Hamlet“, "Henry 5", “Macbeth" ? Many believe he did not, and that he was the “ghost writer“ for his brilliant contemporary, Christopher Marlowe, supposedly killed in a pub fight at the height of his theatre success.
Did Marlowe, who risked torture and execution, fake his own death and write the famous plays in hiding ? This play investigates Marlowe’s mysterious murder, and his connection to the man known as - William Shakespeare.
Starring David Bateson, Kevin Kiernan-Molly and Linford Brown.
