The Fribbling Reports are an entertaining exploration of the life and times of the most famous writer in history. Set in 1584, we follow John Fribbling, an entirely fictional agent of the State, in his dogged and ineffectual pursuit of one William Shakespeare, suspected Papist, known thinker. While John Fribbling never actually existed, and there is no evidence that William Shakespeare was actively investigated by spies of the state, Shakespeare did live in a time of suspicion and paranoia in a country that was undergoing political, religious and social upheaval. Spies were everywhere; persecution was rife. The characters and events that Fribbling describes are as real and as accurate as possible, based on the extensive research of Michael Wood and the production team during the making of "In Search of Shakespeare." Our fictional Agent Fribbling provides an entertaining account of the society that existed 400 years ago.
