David, I appreciate your passion on this subject, but I spent about two hours reading Shakespeare biographies on the internet, and I find little reason for suspicion. He was part owner and "front man" for the best known theatrical troupe in London. It is my belief that his plays were a group effort of the actors, and as producer, the credit went to Will. He was as much a business man as an actor. My opinion regards ONLY his plays; I have no literary opinion of his sonnets or poems.
Something I did find suspicious was his leaving Stratford for London for 20 years, in effect abandoning his wife, who remained behind. Now that is something to ponder.
