just wasn't entranced by the execution or the idea of lots of little Shakespeare
bits jumbled up. I saw little cohesion between the pieces. It reminded
me of the recitals we used to give in high school drama class (although
with much better acting!).

think again.
- The show alternates between dramatic readings of Shakespeare's sonnets
and excerpts of scenes from his plays. The sonnets are all done straight
by players clothed in black and are performed in a way that is thought-provoking
and worth watching. Almost all of the scenes, on the other hand, are played
as slapstick comedy. This works fine for the ones that are written as such,
like Demetrius and Helena cavorting through the forest or the Porter scene
in Macbeth, but it does not work with scenes like the double suicide of
Romeo and Juliet, Cleopatra's suicide (which almost comes off as vaudeville
in this production, with a giant stuffed animal snake that one expects
to see in a children's TV show), or Hamlet's rough mistreatment of Ophelia.
Gratuitous gender-bending, complete with men speaking falsetto, makes things
even worse.
- The audience laughed at a lot of the visual antics, even during some
of the most tragic scenes ever written, which I find sad; apparently, to
the audience I was in, the meaning of the words is not nearly as important
as gags.

inspiration or insight. Could be so much better...
and loose those horrible wigs and the whiny voices when the men play female
roles.. that's degrading and isn't called for folks..
