The Bastard
It has been said that Shakespeare first wrote KING
JOHN in 1590. He then let it breath for five years
while he resurrected RICHARD III and HENRY VI, created
a shrew and began the introduction of the first
thinking man to literature, HAMLET.
In 1595 Shakespeare knew what KING JOHN was missing.
Amongst his accomplishments in the last five years
Shakespeare perfected the classic "Shakespearean
Character" The Bastard of Faulconbridge. The natural
born son of King Richard the Lion Hearted.
Like the celebrated Falstaff, the Bastard of
Faulconbridge is altogether too grand of a character to
be shadowed by Kings. We felt he deserved his own
play! We have proceded to edit KING JOHN, bringing
the Bastard of Faulconbridge to the spot light. Behold
THE BASTARD.
