The Shakespeare Debate Lives On

Some British actors, including Sir Derek Jacobi, are asking the question: Who wrote Shakespeare's plays?

There are some people who think Shakespeare's plays were written by someone from the upper classes, such as Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon or Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford.

The real William Shakespeare came from a poor family. His parents could not read or write.

Also, Shakespeare's plays contain information about foreign countries, like Italy. The real Shakespeare did not travel to these places.

The debate about who wrote Shakespeare's plays is not new. Mark Twain and Charlie Chaplin also doubted that Shakespeare was the actual writer.
