On the stage of the Moscow Pushkin Drama Theatre, Evgeny Pisarev has built a whole world out of lush satin bed-sheets, elegant lace gowns, the flash of steel blades, and hapless declarations of romance. The world of Shakespeare in Love, which made its Russian debut this May, is decadent and fantastical; it flaps around in the mercy of whim but is anchored in place by drama.

During the curtain speech Seattle Shakespeare Company Artistic Director (and director of the night's show) George Mount and Managing Director John Bradshaw joked on how they don't often get to present a Washington premiere since they usually deal in 400-year-old plays. What they also don't usually contend with is the trend of turning every successful movie into a theatrical endeavor but here we are with the Seattle Shakespeare Company presenting the stage version of 'Shakespeare in Love' based on the 1998 film. Now don't get me wrong, not all stage adaptations are awful and this one seems to be almost directly lifted from the wonderful Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard screenplay by the adapter Lee Hall so the script isn't entirely the problem here. No, the problems I have are threefold and amount to two very egregious things for a show entitled 'Shakespeare in Love'. There's not enough 'Shakespeare' and not enough 'Love'. But let's start from the top.
