Many people don’t believe that William Shakespeare was the real
author of the plays attributed to him. But why? And could there be
any truth behind the idea? In episode four of our new series on
history’s most well-known conspiracy theories, Shakespeare expert
Dr Paul Edmondson speaks to Rob Attar about the alternative
candidates that have been put forward and considers whether this is
a legitimate debate to be having. History’s Greatest Conspiracy
Theories is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine. For
