Worthy of the Bard!

I cringe a little each time a novel Shakespeare staging comes out (I shouldn’t of course – Shakespeare is nothing if not adaptable to everyone and everywhere) but this lives up to the depth and layering, the flippancy and seriousness, the timeless themes in the mouths of silly children so often and in so many ways, it is pure joy and Shakespeare himself would have loved it. Puck as a talented surfer dude, Theseus as a movie mogul, Helena as a poet, Oberon as an assured underworld hipster-what perfect roles! The language cut up and dislocated and juxtaposed among texts and projections and different speakers (yet shockingly well spoken) but by the book, the framing within framing so naturally expressed and even expanded in our cell phones, photos, videos, movies, and lives-what fun! Fresh and perfect! Casey Mott is the right kind of Shakespeare nerd, one who gets that these are stories for all of us and that there is always one more layer and one more joke to be had-Hurray! Congratulations! Let’s have more!… Expand

The most enjoyable movie experience in long time. A brilliant whimsical interpretation of what previously had not been one of my favorite plays. It is now. WS would love this. Exceptionally clever. This movie is going to be a really BIG DEAL!
