Cyrano de Bergerac. The movie, the play, the centuries old story is about a man who because of his looks, helps a better looking man win the heart of his truest love.
I have not been able to get this idea out of my head all day. I haven't seen a copy of the film adaptions in years. This is not what has got me pacing around my apartment my mind racing in circles with possibilities at all.
The theory that William Shakespeare was not the man he's been made out to be. This film has been gently stroking my brain for the last 12 hours.
I knew bits and pieces about the conspiracy theory but this film, even though it's been tweaked for dramatic reasons, just makes sense.
And you are thinking, what does this have to do with a blog about relationships?
Well, a lot actually. As the most famous love stories still come from that time period in our history.
This whole theory is in itself like the story of Cyrano de Bergerac. One man hiding because of society's judgement while a frontman takes the praise.
The ultimate ghostwriter.
Anonymous, takes on the heavy issues of politics, murder and incest. Enough to make one man mad. And lay the grown work for some of the most compelling plays in the history of the written word.
