The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has launched a new web-based project,60 Minutes with Shakespeare: Who Was William Shakespeare? Sixty people, among them Stephen Fry, Margaret Drabble, Gregory Doran, Stanley Wells and Harriet Walter, have contributed a 60-second recording answering one of 60 questions about Shakespeare's authorship. The website aims to put to rest arguments about Shakespeare's authorship, particularly in the wake of the film Anonymous which will give a high profile to conspiracy theorists. Of course, the BSA fully supports this project, and many of its members (including two Trustees), are among the 60 voices.
