Nothing Is Truer than Truth

The documentary delves into Edward de Vere's experiences traveling through Venice and other parts of Europe in the mid-1570s. It examines how his time spent learning about commedia dell'arte and engaging with different cultures contributed to his literary output, particularly the plays attributed to Shakespeare.

Filmed on location in historical sites like Venice, Verona, and Padua, the documentary connects De Vere's journey to the settings and themes of well-known Shakespearean works such as The Merchant of Venice and Romeo & Juliet. It features insights from prominent Shakespeare scholars and actors, including Derek Jacobi and Mark Rylance, providing a scholarly perspective on the argument that De Vere's bisexuality influenced the creation of the pseudonym Shake-speare.

For collectors of documentary films or those interested in Shakespearean studies, Nothing Is Truer than Truth offers a unique exploration of historical context and artistic lineage that is both informative and visually engaging.
