Wyneken works with Eagan-Donovan to bring Oxfordian film to Michigan

By
Film maker Cheryl Eagan-Donovan sent us the following information about her new Shakespeare authorship film, Nothing is Truer than Truth, and an exciting project she is working on with fellow Oberon member, Matt Wyneken.

NOTHING IS TRUER THAN TRUTH Educational Outreach
by Cheryl Eagan-Donovan

Invitations have started coming in from around the world to screen the film and talk about the educational outreach program we have designed to address the issue of bullying in schools through the use of Shakespeare’s plays and poems and the identity of the author. 

We have been invited to screen the film at the Bergen International Film Festival in Norway, in affiliation with the University of Bergen, and at the University of Michigan by Matthew Wyneken, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Education. Professor Wyneken also serves as Coordinator of Elementary Education Mathematics, and Program Faculty for The Detroit Teacher Project at the University of Michigan-Flint Department of Education. 

Matthew Wyneken, PhD in Stratford, Ontario, 2014.

Professor Wyneken is a member of the Oberon Shakespeare Study Group and hosted Charles Beauclerk’s visit to the university in 1994. He has suggested reaching out to other Oberon members, teachers and University of Michigan faculty, and area high schools for the screening. 

We are very excited about these opportunities to present NOTHING IS TRUER THAN TRUTH to the academic community but we still need to raise funds to finish the film. 

To complete the film, we have launched a Kickstarter Fundraising campaign and have only 5 days left to raise $13,000 to meet our goal. We need lots of backers, with donations in any amount, to make our target. If we don't, we will receive nothing. Our sincere thanks to the many members of the Oberon group have generously supported the film project.  Please help us make our goal by sharing this link with friends and colleagues:

Thank you very much for helping make history, because it really does matter who wrote “Shake-speare.”

What's a popp'rin' pear?

By
James Wheaton reported yesterday in the Jackson Citizen Patriot that the Michigan Shakespeare Festival high school tour of Romeo and Juliet was criticized for inappropriate content -- " So me take issue with sexual innuendoes in Michigan Shakespeare Festival’s High School Tour performances of ‘Romeo & Juliet’" : Western [High School] parent Rosie Crowley said she was upset when she heard students laughing about sexual content in the play afterwards. Her son didn’t attend the performance Tuesday because of another commitment, she said.  “I think the theater company should have left out any references that were rated R,” Crowley said. “I would say that I’ve read Shakespeare, and what I was told from the students, I’ve never read anything that bad.”  She said she objected to scenes that involved pelvic thrusting and breast touching and to a line in which Mercutio makes suggestive comments to Romeo after looking up the skirt of a female. The problem with cutting out...

Dudley nails it to the door

By
Michael Dudley author of The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosphy: Knowledge, Rhetoric, Identity (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023) Michael Dudley views his vocation of librarian at the University of Manitoba with dialectic rigor. "Librarianship has a duty to inform democracy," he said in Kathryn Sharpe's virtual bookclub on April 27, 2024. Dudley discussed his new book The Shakespeare Authorship Question and Philosophy: Knowledge, Rhetoric, Identity published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing last fall. Update 08/21/24 Dudley's book is also available as an ebook from   Google Play . In SAQ and Philosophy Dudley uses the hammer of logic to nail his accusations against the barricaded door of the Shakespeare citadel. "The question of Shakespeare's authorship is a malformed debate practiced in an unethical fashion," Dudley said. When asked why his book is important, Dudley said: "What sets my book apart from others on the authorship quest...
