DID YOU KNOW THAT MARLOWE AND
SHAKESPEARE WROTE A PLAY TOGETHER?
Young Shakespeare as Never Before Seen nor Imagined


In 2016, William Shakespeare will have been dead four-hundred years. And the continuing reading, watching and studying of his works ranks with interest to the lives of Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln. Shakespeare enthusiasts gather worldwide to meet and chew over the plays and sonnets. And they all wonder how an alleged country bumpkin who only went to grammar school became the greatest writer in the English language.

Ending the Authorship Debate
Many people don’t believe that Shakespeare wrote the plays and poems attributed to him. They posit that Francis Bacon, or the Earl of Essex, or Christopher Marlowe, or some other highly educated Elizabethan was the author. If any of these theories is accurate, it would have taken a slew of conspiring Elizabethan minds, including the Shakespeare-praising poet Ben Jonson, to agree that Shakespeare was not the true author.

Gaining the Necessary Experience
Scholars conjecture that the writer of Hamlet, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, Henry 1V, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, and many more great plays had useful knowledge of business, the law, the sea, the military. Clearly, he also had extensive contact with sophisticated and educated landed gentry, and many more life experiences beyond the rural farm life of England’s West Midlands.

Intriguingly, little is known about the details of Shakespeare’s life from his birth in 1564 until he began publishing and appearing in his own and other authors’ plays in London in the late 1580’s or early 1590’s. A record of his birth and his marriage certificate at eighteen are among the sparse documents that at the very least confirm that he existed during what has become popularly known as the Lost Years.

Imagining Shakespeare’s Life
Interestingly, as far as is known, and until now, no one has written an account of William Shakespeare’s life that imagines, in narrative form, what he was like, what he did and with whom and where he did it before his arrival in late 16th-Century London. A new, revelatory novel, an original work of fiction titled, Discovering Will’s Lost Years and the Marlowe-Shakespeare Lost Play and subtitled, Uncovering 16th and 21st-Century Mystery, Treachery and Obsession was recently published and includes a trove of long-sought-after answers in story form.

Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare Co-Wrote a Play that was Lost
The novel will stir up heated discussions on how Shakespeare’s early life was drawn, and will surely generate further speculation on other developmental involvements he likely had. In addition, Marlowe and Shakespeare devotees will debate the account of how the two met, became friends and wrote a play together during the months before Marlowe’s murder. Finally, no end of controversy will surround the drama of how two young, 21st-Century Elizabethan scholars became entangled in and then handled their roles in the Lost Play mystery.
