Tom Regnier — Did Shakespeare Really Write Shakespeare? (Gable Stage, introduced by Joseph Adler)

Although English professors are adamant that a glover’s son from a rural English town was the author of such plays as Hamlet, King Lear, and A Midsummer Night's Dream, over the years many people have proposed that someone else, such as Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, or the Earl of Oxford, must have written the plays. Is there any basis to these theories, and will they ever go away?

Tom Regnier delivered this presentation on the Shakespeare Authorship Question on April 11, 2016, at the Gable Stage Theatre in the historic Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, Florida. Award-winning director Joseph Adler, the Producing Artistic Director of Gable Stage, introduced Tom. A Q&A session followed the presentation.

Tom thanks Joe Adler and Gable Stage for allowing him to present this material at the theater. Tom dedicates this presentation to the memory of Marzi Kaplan, his teacher at University of Miami School of Law, who encouraged him to pursue his interest in this subject.

The late Tom Regnier was an attorney in southern Florida who earned his J.D. summa cum laude at University of Miami School of Law, where he taught for many years as an adjunct professor, and his LL.M. at Columbia Law School, where he was a Harlan F. Stone Scholar. He passed away on April 14, 2020. For more on his remarkable life, see ShakespeareOxfordFellowship.org/regnier-life.
