Shakespeare plays written by committee!?
When Mark Rylance announced he was resigning as founding director of Shakespeare's Globe, many in the world of theatre were left utterly perplexed.
After a decade of directing and starring in a series of acclaimed productions, he gave almost no explanation when he left the London theatre in 2005, saying merely that it was "time to move on".
Now, after years of silence, Rylance, 48, has finally spoken out about the real circumstances around his departure. In an interview with The New Yorker, he says he feels it was his "vocal opposition" to the Iraq war as well as his controversial theory about whether William Shakespeare actually wrote his plays that led to his resignation.
