About this listen

He was about to be tried for treason. His gay lover had been ordered to kill him. He was trying to evade a clever inspector from the Privy Council as well as the Black Plague. And he had hired a bumbling actor named Shakespeare to front for his writings.

It was obviously time for Christopher Marlowe to fake his own murder.

The Shakespeare Conspiracy is the story of the "greatest literary deception of all time", based on real people and actual historical events.

I really liked the premise of this book but it didn’t quite satisfy and I’m not sure why. It dragged in the middle and the Shakespeare section is a relatively small part. As for the idea that Marlow wrote Shakespeare’s plays, well I’ll leave you to Google why that’s utter nonsense.

A bit of an oddity
