Book Overview

Shakespeare's Skull and Falstaff's Nose: A Fancy in Three Acts is a play written by Belgrave Titmarsh in 1889. The play is a fictional account of the search for the skull of William Shakespeare and the nose of his character, Falstaff. The play is set in the early 19th century and follows the adventures of a group of characters as they search for these artifacts. The play is a satirical look at the obsession with Shakespeare and his works in Victorian England. The characters are a mix of historical and fictional figures, including a Shakespearean actor, a doctor, a thief, and a poet. The play is divided into three acts, each of which takes place in a different location. The first act is set in London, the second in Stratford-upon-Avon, and the third in the Tower of London.
