Had the misfortune of seeing this with Hamlet's understudy. I fled about 40 minutes in -- a trainwreck of a production. Garish, cheap, tacky, obvious, dull ... so many conflicting simultaneous issues. When oh when will Shakespeare in the Park be, you know, good again? Remember Audra and Anne and Raul in 'Twelfth Night?' Remember Pacino in 'Merchant?' Hamish Linklater, Daniel Sullivan, Jesse Tyler Fergeson, where art thou? Those were the days. |
