The Legacy of William Ireland

Charlie Jack in Stage D’Or’s 2019 EdFringe show filmed at the OSO Barnes
It takes big liberties with certain details, but The Legacy of William Ireland is based on a remarkable real-life story. In 1796, the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane staged a ‘lost’ work of Shakespeare: a play so bad that it was instantly denounced as a forgery, never to be performed in public again. The fraudster was the William Ireland of this play’s title, who had managed to hoodwink the venerable James Boswell into vouching for the script’s authenticity. We now meet William on the night the deception crashes down… for although he’d fooled the ageing Boswell, he couldn’t fool the London mob.
