Title: Shakespeare does Titanic...Ta-Dahhh!
Review: Like so much Shakespeare I've seen on stage or screen for the last 40+ years, this is not William so much as it is Earnest Shakespeare, with little magic in the handling of the language but plenty of big music, spectacular costumes & lots of nyah-ha-ha acting. A pity because every generation seems to become more distanced from the real poetry that should be there. Today, it all seems to have become_show & tell, you-are-there, reality-tv presentation. Interesting that Stoppard was involved in this and 15 Minute Hamlet which was far more in the spirit of the Bard.
Is the review positive or negative?
