About
Enriching for Shakespeare aficionados, actors, directors, writers, readers, drama students, teachers and audiences around the globe, the aim of Edward de Vere as Shakespeare is to unlock the secrets of the works of Shakespeare.
Being Shakespeare enthusiasts, we have become increasingly convinced that there is a great, perhaps undeniable, possibility that the 17th earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere, penned the works that are today known as the works of William Shakespeare.
Edward de Vere as Shakespeare exists to celebrate the possibility that the greatest canon known to English literature was created by this larger than life character - a man who lived his life to the fullest, who truly suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and who was forced to take arms against a sea of troubles. The Earl of Oxford's life was not only filled to the brim with theatre, literature, art and science, but it also bore remarkable resemblances to many of the events encountered by the characters found in Shakespeare's work.
By approaching the works in the First Folio through the eyes of Edward De Vere, 17th earl of Oxford, the works are elevated and opened up to a whole new spectrum of meaning, symbolism, depth, truth, and intrigue. Who would not want to unlock the secrets of one of the most riveting times in the history of Europe and gain a unique understanding of Shakespeare's work?
