Calling all Shakespeare experts:

Arthur Gray, in his book A Chapter in the Early Life of Shakespeare: Polesworth in Arden, theorized that a young William Shakespeare was schooled at Polesworth, Warwickshire, England, by a literary salon he called the Polesworth Circle.

In my book/historical play, The Polesworth Circle: The Education of William Shakespeare, I theorize that Shakespeare was taught the art of storytelling at Polesworth, by Raphael Holinshed, the great chronicler of England, Scotland, and Wales; the steward of the nearby Bramcote estate; and (later) the main source for Shakespeare’s historical plays.

If you have any “evidence” that would support (or debunk) the above theories, I would love to hear from you.
