Historian James Shapiro, of Columbia University discusses the centuries old Shakespeare “authorship” controversy: the belief by thousands over the last four centuries that William Shakespeare, was, in fact, not responsible for writing the plays attributed to him. This conspiracy theory is now the subject of the major motion picture Anonymous, as well as of Shapiro’s book, Contested Will. Read what Professor Shapiro recently had to say in The New York Times:“Hollywood Dishonors the Bard.”
Theater Talk News Update 
After receiving your notices about an interview with James Shapiro about his book, “Contested Will” I was disappointed NOT to have that interview on CUNY at 8:30 PM Saturday, October 22nd. Did I misread your notice. It listed various times for Theater Talk, featuring a discussion about Shakespeare. Please advise when this program will be available. Thank you
