thanks for asking mknod. I love Shakespeare adaptations -- even weird and loose adaptations. I'm not always thrilled when women play Richard III or Prospero - but I think it's wonderful to fit Shakespeare into all kinds of clothes, times, and places. It just proves the timelessness and universality of the stories. I particularly liked Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet, and not just because Mercutio was in drag. I also liked the teen-age version of The Taming of the Shrew called Ten Things I Hate About You
