Official selection to the 2021 Montreal Independent Film Festival and 2021 Chicago Indie Film Awards, "Best Short Documentary." In addition, "Why there is a Shakespeare Authorship Question" was a finalist in the Dubai Independent Film Festival and Paris International Short Festival, a semi-finalist in the Dallas Movie Awards, Roma Shorts and Tokyo Shorts.
Most academic experts state, "Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, period!" They claim there is no Shakespeare Authorship Question. Keir Cutler, PhD explains how looking at recent publications and statements by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Oxford University, and their current theories on collaboration, one can demonstrate there is a question as to who wrote the works of Shakespeare. The First Folio clearly states there is one writer, but modern experts are pushing a half dozen writers working with William of Stratford. This contradiction exposes a huge inconsistency and contradiction in the so-called expert thinking.
Keir Cutler has been writing and performing self-penned works that question the traditional biography of Shakespeare since 2002. He has performed at Shakespeare's Globe in London, England, Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, Connecticut, and the Toronto Public Library, as well as at theatre and fringe festivals across Canada and the US. His adaptation of Mark Twain's "Is Shakespeare Dead?" and his monologue, "Shakespeare Crackpot" are available on RU-vid.
In 2014, the Orlando Sentinel wrote the following in a review of Keir's work, "one must admit that his arguments are breathtakingly convincing and will leave you scrambling for your history books to verify what you’ve just heard. That Cutler’s show provokes us and challenges our cherished assumptions is a credit not just to the genius of the works of Shakespeare, regardless of who penned them, but to Cutler’s command of his topic and his audience."
