Shakespeare Authorship Question has never been more fun! Mark Twain's hilarious (1909) debunking of the myth that William Shakespeare wrote the works of Shakespeare.
(Text of Keir Cutler's adaptation of "Is Shakespeare Dead?" available as ebook.

Chosen "Best in Fest" at the 2014 Orlando Fringe Festival by the Orlando Weekly. "Montreal's Keir Cutler is offering one of the smartest, most thought-provoking shows at Fringe. Adapting the 1909 book Is Shakespeare Dead? by Mark Twain, Cutler -- using Twain's trademark intelligence and wit -- makes the strongest argument possible that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon did not write the works credited to him."
"Is Shakespeare Dead? marshals startling facts into an elegant and often tenacious argument that floats on a current of delicious irony." Montreal Gazette.
". . . a highly entertaining and engrossing 45-minute performance!" EYE Weekly, Toronto.
"Magnificently witty performance!" Winnipeg Sun.
"Everyone will leave convinced the English-speaking world's greatest playwright is a hoax ... witty and compelling show." Winnipeg Free Press.
