Summary
Did William Shakespeare really write his plays? was there even a William Shakespeare at all? This question has come up in History a few different times, and today it winds up on Carly’s desk. Lewis and Nibbles join Carly (and her not-so authentic British accent) on a trip back to London to put the rumors to rest. Originally aired 1/24/24.
