The Lunatic The Lover and the Poet
Films In Production
The truth about the Shakespeare authorship will be revealed. That time is now.
The Lunatic, the Lover and the Poet centers on the identity of William Shakespeare. In this film, we learn that Shakespeare was not a single author but the amalgamation of a writing guild known as Francis Bacon’s “Team of Good Pens”.
Timothy Watson is a writer, producer, and researcher known for his feature film project, The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet. [1, 2]
The title of the film draws directly from Theseus’s famous speech in Act V, Scene 1 of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (“The lunatic, the lover, and the poet / Are of imagination all compact”). Rather than a standard adaptation of the play, Watson’s film explores the long-debated Shakespeare authorship mystery, proposing the theory that “Shakespeare” was not a single author but a collaborative entity. [1, 2, 3]
(Note: He is distinct from the well-known British actor and voice artist Timothy Watson, who famously played Rob Titchener on BBC Radio 4’s The Archers and coincidentally performed in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at London’s Open Air Theatre in 1998). [1, 2]
