Mike Rubbo's " Much Ado about Something". Mike explores the authorship controversy. Did Christopher Marlowe write Shakespeare's plays?!
Much Ado About Something, Mike Rubbo's feature documentary, takes on the controversial Shakespeare authorship question.

Four years of filming and research lead him to propose that Christopher Marlowe might have been the hidden hand behind William Shakespeare. Marlowe as Shakespeare is not a new theory. It was first proposed by Calvin Hoffman in the 1950s.

Mike Rubbo gives it a new lease of life, bringing to the screen: Jonathan Bate, Stanley Wells, Mark Rylance, Andy Gurr, John Baker, John Michell and Charles Nicholl to argue the case with him.
