Shakespeare and Marlowe acknowledged as collaborators on "Henry VI"

The long-suspected collaboration between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe on Henry VI will be made official in the New Oxford Shakespeare. Scholars estimate that 2/5 of the Bard's plays involved a collaborator to some degree or another. Heck, there has even been serious speculation that Shakespeare collaborated on Hamlet Special Edition with some obscure Polish author.

* The author has taken perverse pleasure in not using the Oxford comma in this sentence.
