Atlanta Shakespeare Presents FORTINBRAS, Now thru 7/14
by BWW News Desk - June 29, 2013
In Lee Blessing's cheeky off-beat comedyFortinbras (named as one of Time Magazine's best plays of 1991), the action starts where Hamlet stopped. The oddly chipper Norwegian Prince Fortinbras swoops in to Denmark to find himself in charge of a nation, but with the PR nightmare of having to explain all the deaths at Elsinore. Finding Horatio's account of the murders implausible, Fortinbras decides to make up the truth, much to the ire of the recently dispatched ghosts roaming the corridors, who want the true tale told.

BWW Reviews: METAMORPHOSES Revival Is a Magical Experience at Georgia Shakespeare
by Matthew Allen - June 21, 2013
It is always dangerous to form an opinion of a show after seeing only its first preview. So I was a little apprehensive about writing a review after seeing the very first performance of the 2013 incarnation of Georgia Shakespeare's 'Metamorphoses.' Since the initial 2006 run, which was nominated for, and won, more Suzi Bass Awards than any non-musical in history, 'Metamorphoses' has held a special place in the Atlanta theatre consciousness; and I am happy to report that I now fully understand why their patrons were so excited for Georgia Shakespeare to bring back Mary Zimmerman's masterpiece based on the myths of Ovid.
