Get the dinosaur mug.People who believe, to one capacity or another, the theory that William Shakespeare of Stratford did not write the plays that he had become famous for.
"There are certain people who believe that Shakespeare's plays are so sophisticated, so erudite, so brain-crapingly good that a middle-class kid from the Boondocks without a University degree couldn't possibly have written them.
