But the Shakespeare plays are immensely popular and
commercial. Even Hollywood studios (who are just about as
hard headed as businessmen get) still make films based on
Shakespeare plays (last year alone we had Othello, two
different versions of Richard III, Twelfth Night, Romeo
and Juliet, Hamlet...) The Oxfordians have yet to explain
why it is that their intellectual, ivory tower candidate,
striving deperately to impress his noble friends and
colleagues with his erudite and multifaceted learning,
ended up penning comedies packed with bawdy puns and
tragedies with enough blood and gore accross the stage
to keep even the most bloodthirsty of the groundlings happy.
