Production values are excellent as well as a strong cast led by Ruben Santiago Hudson. Probably one of the best Shakespeare in the Park productions in decades. If there is anything that I think need more work it would be the moment when the statue comes to life--it's a bit underwhelming and also Linda Emond's prison speech, a gifted actress, but she says the speech so slowly that her speech patterns are so evident. It just seemed a little insulting to the audience that she takes her time, as if saying "I need to slow down for you to understand Shakespeare"... Otherwise, I think this production is better than the other offering which is Merchant of Venice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
