    After almost 20 years since 'Shakespeare In Love', you would think they could make something as good, or even better about Shakespeare. Think again. This show is really disappointing.

    Too often the show is raucous without reason, but Will sparks to life in a scene where Shakespeare engages in what in modern times could be compared to a rap battle or poetry slam, only in Will it’s a word competition using iambic pentameter.

    It’s not a dealbreaker of an idea to take a famous historical figure and put him or her into a world that makes his or her life more relatable to young folks who come along several centuries later. It works better, though, if the modern trappings flavor the historic character, rather than the other way around.

    Sure, it’s fun to see Shakespeare get some; fortunately, Will manages to find depth beyond that.
