We all know that William Shakespeare may, in fact, be the greatest playwright that ever lived... but he wasn't the only one writing!!

On today's episode we discuss the other writers that were around during Shakespeare's time - the good, the bad, and the ugly!!! (Okay, that doesn't really track, but it sounded good!!)

So, who WAS Christopher Marlowe? And Thomas Kyd?? And Ben Jonson and Thomas Dekker and Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher???

Tune in to find out!!!

(Seriously you guys, there's was SO MUCH GREAT STUFF GOING ON THEN!!!!)
