Doubts about the true authorship of Shakespeare’s works have persisted across the centuries, from skeptics including Mark Twain and Walt Whitman, to Antonin Scalia, Malcolm X, and David McCullough.

Among these skeptics was a Boston man who, in 1916, went to court to prove his point. Before you laugh, he won the case. Author, playwright, and local historian David Kruh will present the story of one man’s search for the “real” author of the works credited to Shakespeare and how –amazingly- that search played a role in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
