Shakespeare In Love

Fantastic! This was the U.S. premiere of the play that came out of the film of Shakespeare in Love. This was a wonderful production. The story lovingly plays with words from Shakespeare’s plays. It’s very comedic and romantic, but also has some unhappy undertones. It also features the development of Romeo and Juliet as the play-within-the-play, and that brought in those elements of poignancy and sadness and tragedy. The cast was terrific and it was a very enjoyable play to watch. As a side note, I ended up sitting next to Goeffrey Kent and his wife, the actor/fight director I’ve seen in several Colorado Shakespeare Festival productions. The lead actress in this play was a friend of theirs, who’s also been in a number of the CoSF productions.
