Short Cuts Cinema screens Anonymous (Roland Emmerich, 2011) on Wednesday 15th February at 7.30pm in the Studio Theatre. 

TICKETS ONSALE WEDNESDAY 4TH JANUARY AT 12 NOON

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.

Stars Ryhs Ifans, Venessa Regrave, David Thewlis, and Rafe Spall as William Shakespeare
