Nothing Is Truer than Truth
NOTHING IS TRUER THAN TRUTH is a feature-length documentary about Edward de Vere, the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford, an A-list continental party boy who spent a year and a half in Venice and traveling throughout Europe, learning about commedia dell'arte and collecting the experiences that would become the Shakespeare plays. The film, which was shot in Venice, Verona, Mantua, Padua, and Brenta, includes scenes from THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, OTHELLO, ROMEO & JULIET, and TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, as well as actual locales De Vere visited in 1575-76. Sir Derek Jacobi, Mark Rylance, Tina Packer, and Diane Paulus, among others, appear in the film, which claims that De Vere's bisexuality is the cause behind the pseudonym Shake-speare.
