Innovative approach to the play
29 March 2004
I was entertained and that was all I had hoped for with this. In terms of presenting Shakespeare to the masses, it would make you interested enough to go to the text and find out what was supposed to happen. In terms of entertainment value, it was wonderful. I love the classic songs from the musicals and they were performed in a fun way. I thought the singing and dancing was great, better than in Woody Allen's "Everybody says I Love You", which had the same sort of idea but featured people who couldn't sing. This lot were good singers for the most part, they looked great and the costumes, etc were also great to look at. I think Ken has taken a brave approach and got away with it, and LLL is the sort of play that needs a radical treatment. The idea is to get people interested in Shakespeare by whatever means possible. Worth seeing if you need something to cheer you up, not too demanding!
