The Queen and the Playwright: Love's Labor Lost

A historical love story set in16th century England that changed that changed the course of history and nearly topple a thrown. The story of the lover and the love child that had to be denied to save the crown. What if William Shakespeare didn't write any of the plays or sonnets attributed to him? What if he couldn't? What if he was illiterate? And if William Shakespeare didn't write them, who did, and why is Shakespeare's name attached to plays he didn't write? The Queen and the Playwright is the gripping tale, told in narrative fiction, of a brilliant, political figure, fourteenth in line for throne of England, whose affair and clandestine child by the "virgin queen," Elizabeth I, threw the succession into jeopardy and opened England to the imminent threat of invasion. The father of that secret child and author of the "Shakespeare" plays was forced to shed his name, his reputation, and any connection he had with the crown, replaced by William Shakespeare, an illiterate in need of money. This is the true story of how William Shakespeare went down in history as the most famous playwright the world has ever known, while the actual author, away from court and out of power, died in excruciating pain, reworking plays he knew would never be published under his own name.
