About the Book The Shakespeare Stealer

The Shakespeare Stealer by Gary Blackwood is a historical novel set in Elizabethan England, following the adventures of a young orphan named Widge. The protagonist, trained in shorthand skills, is coerced by his master to steal the script of Shakespeare's play Hamlet from the renowned Globe Theatre. Tasked with this audacious mission, Widge finds himself immersed in the vibrant world of theatre, where he befriends the players and becomes enamored with the stories and camaraderie. His quest becomes a moral dilemma as he grapples with loyalty, honesty, and the allure of belonging to a community that values him.

Throughout the novel, Widge's inner conflict deepens as he realizes the consequences of his task and the deception it entails. Torn between fulfilling his master's orders and preserving the trust he has built with the theatre troupe, Widge learns valuable lessons about friendship, trust, and integrity. The Shakespeare Stealer paints a vivid picture of the bustling theatrical scene of the era, highlighting the timeless power of storytelling and the impact of personal choices. Through Widge's transformation from a reluctant thief to a valued member of the Globe Theatre, Blackwood explores themes of identity, bravery, and the true meaning of family.
