THE MASQUE OF WILLIAM
SHAKESPEARE
Four hundred years ago a brilliant playwright was murdered, and William Shakespeare is deeply entangled in the case. On May 30, 1593, four men were drinking at a house in Deptford, England. Then suddenly, for no apparent reason, two of them began quarreling. A moment later, one of them lies in a pool of blood, stabbed in the eye with a dagger.
That man was Christopher Marlowe. He was the most celebrated playwright of his day, the “rival poet” of Shakespeare’s sonnets, and now he was dead. The strange events that followed reveal that Christopher Marlowe was the victim of an elaborate conspiracy.
