Now, it's a pretty good plot device. There are any number of purported "undiscovered" Shakespeare plays out there, either as existing manuscripts attributed to him, or apocryphal references to manuscripts that no one has found, or of course, outright frauds. And there are "new" plays that scholars have only recently admitted to the "canon." So with bad record keeping and fires and plagues and blitzes and time travelers and whatnot, it's always possible that there is some undiscovered or unrealized Shakespeare out there.
But who would murder over them?
Oh, wait, we're no done with the exposition...
Kid heads on down...
Kid gets friendly with Delven's daughter...
Anyway, you're taking up way too much of the millionaire's time!
Well, I guess that settles the whole "was Shakespeare really Shakespeare" controversy!!
But as to the authenticity of Damocles? Well...like any author worth his salt, Shakespeare likes his drink!
But now, back to business. Is the play Shakespeare's?
So let's answer the least important question first!
But who did the killing, and why?
Oh, by the way, Kid, look at--he has a gun!
Kid gets the last punch in!
