A film-text for pseudo-scholars It was the usual story, of course: Boy meets Girl, Client hires Private Eye, and the two tales get entangled during a leisurely stroll around the highlights of an ancient city. But the mystery is 450 years old, and seems to involve an ominous Stranger, a forgetful German academic, a couple of warring Russian oligarchs, and final proof that Shakespeare was really from Canterbury, not Stratford, after all. So, just a normal day for a Cathedral Shepherd looking after an attractive American visitor. Written as a guide to favourite spots for friends visiting Canterbury on the occasion of the Marlowe commemorative conferences and celebrations held in 2014.Film-texts are in the format of a film-script, but are not designed for actual film production. They are intended to be read and imagined, and play with a variety of familiar film genres, including romantic comedy, political thriller, and tourist guide: a kind of fantasy travel souvenir. Other NCQ film-texts are set in Athens, Prague, Rome, Venice, and fourth-century Egypt.
