goodo.Shakespeare was gay claims RSC director who accuses Victorian academics of covering up the bard's homosexuality
Greg Doran claimed that bard's 'outsider' perspective offered clues
He added that 126 of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets are addressed to men

'It allows him to get inside the soul of a black general, a Venetian jew, an Egyptian queen or whatever and perhaps that outsider perspective has something to do with his sexuality.'Tags: None
