To celebrate the release of ANONYMOUS, The Hollywood News and Sony Pictures UK are giving three lucky readers the chance to win an Anonymous Coffee Table Book. ANONYMOUS is out this Friday (28th October) and stars a star-studded British cast including, Rhys Ifans, Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson and Jamie Campbell Bower.
Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Sigmund Freud, namely: who actually created the body of work credited to William Shakespeare? Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature. Anonymous poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when scandalous political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles lusting for the power of the throne were brought to light in the most unlikely of places: the London stage.
