Title: Couldn't be worse
Review: I loved this play when I saw it at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, VA this spring, and I was looking forward to seeing different versions of it. I can't understand the reviewers who liked it--just about everything in it was lame. The actor who played Feste (complete with a mullet) should be banned from future Shakespeare productions for butchering such a great role. There was no chemistry between any of the characters and the delivery reminded me of students forced to read Shakespeare in class. After suffering through this, I got the Trevor Nunn/Ben Kingsley version--much, much better (though still not quite as good as the ASC version). Don't waste your time or money on this one. What was Branagh thinking?
Is the review positive or negative?
