In his E-book "->Shakespeare in Court" (composed of two parts, an essay and a courtroom dialogue), Waugh provocatively accuses the Trust of “making false statements” about its tourist museums, of concealing information about Shakespeare authorship, of abusing those who challenge or contradict its “expert authority” and of having “a clear and obvious conflict of interest concerning its revenues and its representation of Shakespearean history.”
In Amazon's book description one reads, that Waugh combines his exposé of the Birthplace Trust and those individuals driving its “Authorship Campaign,” with a dramatic courtroom cross-examination of “a typical orthodox Shakespeare pundit.” This lively scene, written in sharp, confrontational dialogue, challenges the traditional belief that Shakespeare’s works were composed by an illiterate butcher’s apprentice from the British Midlands and clearly reveals why the case for Shakespeare of Stratford, if submitted to the judicial scrutiny of any court of law, would be instantly dismissed.
