Caroline Russell-King

Symphony on O.C.D. Major

A work in progress

In May 2001 Stephanie Nolan, of the Globe and Mail, reported the discovery of a painting that may be the only painting of William Shakespeare painted during his lifetime- a stunning announcement ignited furious debate around the world. It is the story of how the portrait came to reside under the bed of a Montreal grandmother and how her grandson a retired engineer painstakingly authenticated the work despite setbacks. In this play Shakespeare Under the Bed the portrait is the character of Shakespeare. A comedy of errors.
