Hasti Vibrans is a documentary play that examines the authorship of the Shakespeare plays. Did William Shakespeare write the 37 full length plays, 150 Sonnets, and four Love Poems, as Stratfordians believe. Or, did Edward de Vere, The 17th Earl of Oxford, as its author contends and argues in this dramatization, as if a trial is underway to determine the truth about the Greatest Author in the English-Speaking World. The play received a single full production as part of the master's thesis. A full Oxfordian bibliography is found in the index. Hamlet, as we learn about him, seems to have known a great deal about the life and mind of the 17th Earl of Oxford.
