I guess they think it is imaginative, but I think it lacks imagination.Schneewittchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500446025276876475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19879874.post-34248191723147976832008-06-11T15:38:00.000-07:002008-06-11T15:38:00.000-07:00Bard often re-stages, but I believe the Tempest is...Bard often re-stages, but I believe the Tempest is still kept more or less to the time it was written. I'm not sure specifically when it was written, but old Bill did manage a few plays in the 17th :)<BR/><BR/>Titus will be a tough one. I don't know why anyone would insist on trying to put a History into a different period.

However, restaging plays seems to be a big fad now - aren't all of the Bard productions restaged this year? <BR/><BR/>One of the worst staging's I've seen is Chekov's Three Sisters set in Pakistan. Everyone in the show was white, wearing saris and talking about getting back to Moskow. A bit disconcerting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
