Review of RN Documentary: Will the Real Will Shakespeare Please Stand Up?

The "Mark Twain" narrator is a little bit much, but it might be a gateway for the listener... the inclusion of Prof. Michael Greenblatt, author of "Will In The World" gives this documentary added weight. He is brilliant and illumines this piece. Who was Shakespeare? Hell, I know, but anything that gets us to contemplate him -- like this segment -- is more than worth the while. Thought provoking!
