central coast shakespeare company's R&J
Tue, 8 Oct 2002, 08:44 pmI've held out on my opinion for too long-almost a fortnight, and I can't take it any longer. Well, all I can say is people shouldn't put on productions of Shakespeare if it's ill-informed trite.
The main problem here wasn't (surprisingly enough) the actors, it was the director's fault. Casting only four in the production after cast-commitment hassles was ambitious in itself, and the director only being eighteen years of age didn't help either. His ensemble however was beautifully cast, and they obviously made a huge contribution to the creative efforts of the show.
Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save the dull pacing of the show. I know I won't be going to see another dismal display of such drek.
