I recently saw 'Shakespeare In Love', the fairly new play based on the film starring Gwyneth Paltrow. I thought it was brilliant, and although a little long, it was directed really well and the way Shakespeare was played was excellent. It literally had everything in it: even a bit with a dog. It was filled with romance, comedy, a murder, lies and deceit, danger, sadness and so much more. The actress playing the lead role wasn't as good as I expected however, but THAT SHOULD NOT PUT YOU OFF SEEING THE PLAY. She was just a little repetitive with her line delivery and didn't really vary her tone of voice so everything she said sounded quite similar. She was a fab actress, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't really get as absorbed in her performance as I did in the leading actors. Also the actor playing Shakespeare takes his shirt off several times so that was nice.
