As a lifelong theater geek, this film is balm for my soul! That being said, it's not really about "The Thea-tah", (to be read in pretentious upper-class snotty tones!), it's about what all great works of art are about--love, connection, and living fully in the brief flare of our bright hours on this spinning globe. Who better to encompass all that life in gorgeous language than the Bard? Apparently Keith Boynton, whose lines for Shakespeare in this beautiful film are virtually indistinguishable from Shakespeare's own. I eagerly await his next project, and am trying really, really hard not to hate him for being so damn young and so incredibly talented...
