Tune in for a heated debate regarding the Shakespeare authorship question as ANONYMOUS Director Roland Emmerich, the film's Writer/Producer John Orloff and Historian/Writer/Lecturer Charles Beauclerk face off against UC Berkeley's Professor Alan H. Nelson. Click below on Wednesday, September 28 from 8:15 - 9:15pm PST, to tune in to the live webcast!

Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Sigmund Freud, namely: who actually created the body of work credited to William Shakespeare?

Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature. Anonymous poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when scandalous political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles lusting for the power of the throne were brought to light in the most unlikely of places: the London stage.

ANONYMOUS will be released in theaters nationwide on October 28, 2011
