Title: A fictional look at an Elilzabethan theater company
Review: In Gary Blackwood's "The Shakespeare Stealer" we meet the orphan, Widge, who, taught a form of shorthand by the cold-blooded clergyman who takes him from the orphanage, is then sold to the mysterious Falconer to transcribe Shakespeare's "Hamlet" so that the the head of a regional theater company can have a well-written new play to present to provincial audiences.Widge manages to follow the play, but loses the tablet on which it is transcribed. He stays with the company in hopes of recovering his transcription We get a child's eye view of what goes on in an Elizabethan Shakespeare Company, get an unromantic view of the elderly Queen Elizabeth and Widge gets the family he's never had.The novel offers action, details about the every day workings of an Elizabethan theater company, and a touching coming of age story
