For two hundred years after Shakespeare's death, no one thought to argue that somebody else had written his plays. Since then dozens of rival candidates
- including Sir Francis Bacon & the Earl of Oxford
- have been proposed as their true author. Contested Will unravels the mystery of when & why so many people began to question whether Shakespeare wrote the plays (among them such leading writers & artists as Sigmund Freud, Henry James, Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Orson Welles, & Sir Derek Jacobi).
