In this first of the "Doug's Guide to the Unexplained (and Totally True!) series we enter the shadowy depths of a cluttered basement, one man dares to speak the truth: William Shakespeare was not the author of his own plays. That honor belongs to… Sasquatch.
At the center of this wildly unhinged literary crusade is DOUG, a conspiracy theorist with more cork boards than sense. Alongside him are JERRY, a wide-eyed believer with a backpack full of “evidence”; LINDA, the rational realist clinging to what’s left of her sanity; and KAREN, a sarcasm-wielding skeptic who’s secretly intrigued by the madness.
But this time, Doug’s theories go even deeper.
According to the group’s newly uncovered "research," Christopher Marlowe didn’t die in a bar fight—he was silenced for discovering the truth about the secret Sasquatch playwright organization. Shakespeare’s “lost years” (1585–1592)? Not lost—he was undergoing a Squatch-led writer's retreat in the Forest of Arden. His grave? Allegedly missing its feet, conveniently hiding the truth about his hairy origins. And the so-called "Oxfordians"? A shadowy academic cabal trying to erase Squatch history with tweed jackets and cryptic journal articles.
Through chaotic debates, dramatic whiteboard revelations, and increasingly ridiculous “artifacts,” the group unravels the deeper meaning behind the Bard’s fondness for forests—from Birnam Wood to Midsummer’s glade—revealing that the wilderness wasn’t just metaphor... it was message.
The Squatch of Avon: Extended Conspiracy Cut is a hilarious romp through academic absurdity, cryptid chaos, and literary lunacy, asking the most important question of all: If Sasquatch wrote the plays… who’s writing our history?
