Mark Rylance is a brilliant actor and has put together an absolutely amazing group that tours around doing Shakespeare on a bare stage with all male actors. I won't say "as originally done," but it's an attempt to show how it might have been done. Their productions are wonderful.
He thinks there is an "authorship question." And he's an ass about it. It's really a kind of disease, I think.
Oh, good Lord. I did a quick Google because I originally thought Rylance was an Oxfordian but wasn't sure. Jacobi is right with him. They have a little website. They don't name a candidate. They just think there should be "academic debate" about the "question."
My head hurts.
Anyway, being a good actor doesn't mean you can't have really stupid ideas. I mean, Mark Twain was an anti-Shakespearean.
