Nothing Is Truer than Truth
the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford, an A-list party boy who spent a year and a half in Venice studying about the commedia dell'arte while gathering the experiences that would become the Shakespeare plays, is the subject of a feature-length documentary titled NOTHING IS TRUER THAN THE TRUTH. As a result of his 1575-76 journey to Italy, De Vere was able to visit many of the famous locations from Shakespeare's plays like THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, OTHELLO, ROMEO AND JULIET, and TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA while filming this film. Sir Derek Jacobi, Mark Rylance, Tina Packer, and Diane Paulus star in the film, which posits that the appellation Shake-speare was coined because De Vere was bisexual.
