"Discovering Will's Lost Years and the Marlowe-Shakespeare Lost Play" is no longer in publication. If you have read the book, do not purchase "Gentle Will in Overplus," which contains the middle portion of the unpublished book. If you have not read "Discovering Will's Lost Years," be sure to read "Gentle Will in Overplus: Reimagining William Shakespeare's Early Years and Young Adulthood."

"Gentle Will in Overplus: Reimagining William Shakespeare's Early Years and Young Adulthood." In this novella, the reimagined Will was a curious, precocious child from infancy, making up stories, playacting with his siblings, fascinated by the Avon River and the Arden forest. He first went on stage with traveling players at age eleven and immediately showed sketch-writing and acting skills. At age fourteen, he sold his first play on William the Conqueror to the Leicester Players for a crown. Beginning at age sixteen, Will tutored the children of noble families, played in and wrote for their house players and taught school for a year near Stratford. And during these formative years he worked in his father’s businesses and helped with his municipal responsibilities and wrote incessantly. Will also prepared cases in the offices of two town lawyers. He formed Stratford acting groups and wrote plays for them to perform for local audiences. Several of these short plays were expanded and later shown in London.

At age eighteen, he married the twenty-six-year-old Anne Hathaway and they had three children. A few years later Will traveled across Britain with the Queen’s Men, learning stagecraft and adapting his plays to the extempore lines from players such as Richard Tarlton. In London with the Queen’s Men, Will wrote into the late night, acted in inn-yards and twice played for the queen. He made friends with other playwrights, such as Thomas Kyd, Ben Jonson, Thomas Dekker, and Christopher Marlowe, and developed patrons like the Earl of Southampton. He crossed the sea twice, once to Ireland, then to the Netherlands. During these excursions, Will learned the idioms of sailors and soldiers and witnessed war firsthand.

Did William Shakespeare do all these things? Nobody knows. Scant records exist. This book imagines what he could have done and needed to do in order to write the later masterpieces. It was fun writing the book, and I feel confident that you’ll enjoy the envisaging of Will Shakespeare’s life up to his mid-twenties.
