This laugh-out-loud look at the battle for stage credibility between a typecast action movie star and a "real" actor with a very...

  "Moments of greatness, but slightly inconsistent."

  I didn't expect to like the concept (in fact, I had a hard time beforehand figuring out what it was), but I actually really enjoyed it. There were also some phenomenal performances, notably from Jaques/Adam and Silvius, respectively. The Dukes/Corin and Rosalind were also strong. But, I felt that it took almost an hour to get into the actual emotional meat of the play, likely because the actor who played Celia left me cold (I got little love and devotion to Rosalind from her, she just seemed constantly irritated) and the actor who played Orlando kept the stakes nap-inducingly low until the second act (he did grow on me later). Touchstone was fun, but his Audrey played her part as two dimensional at best (delightful, however, as Amiens). She was nothing, though, to the atrociously awful, painfully amateurish Phebe. I certainly enjoyed myself, but at the Rep, especially for Shakespeare, I expect performances to be unilateraly solid, and some of these missed the mark. Collapse

  "Beautifully realized production that does Shakespeare Proud"

  This production is inventive and spectacular storytelling. The play that Shakespeare wrote over 400 years ago is not sacrificed and all of the actors integrate the language and the concept beautifully. This is the way Shakespeare should be done in 2009! I sat next to a young lady who thoroughly enjoyed it and more importantly, was drawn into the dilemnas of the characters. The magical moment of The Seven Ages of Man was true genius. The high-tech setting worked. Go see this production and bring the kids!I am looking forward to more from Rick Lombardi. I have avoided the Rep for years and am hopefully that this is a renaissance for that company. Collapse
