The Beard of Avon is a play by Amy Freed originally commissioned and produced by South Coast Repertory in 2001. It is a farcical treatment of the Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship in which both Shakespeare and his wife become involved in different ways with secret playwright Edward de Vere and find themselves helping to present the works of several other secretive authors under Shakespeare’s name including Queen Elizabeth I herself.
