Theater Memories Part 12: Shakespeare, The Comedies and Romances

Kevin Kline and Blythe Danner
in Much Ado About Nothing

Last time I listed all the Shakespearean tragedies I have seen, so it's time for the comedies and romances. Once again, I am not including TV or film versions because there are too many. This will be just stage versions:

All's Well That Ends Well: Delacorte.

As You Like It: Shakespeare's Globe at the Armory, The Bridge Project at BAM (in rep with The Tempest), CSC with Ellen Burstyn as Jacques.

The Comedy of Errors: Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Hamish Linklater playing both sets of twins at the Delacorte; the Flying Karamazov Brothers in an all-juggling production at Lincoln Center; all-male production at BAM.

Love's Labour's Lost: Stratford Festival; Public Theater.

Measure for Measure: Campbell Scott/Kate Burton/Len Cariou/Jack Weston/Lois Smith (Lincoln Center); twice at the Delacorte: Kevin Kline/LisaGay Hamilton and Billy Crudup/Sanaa Latham; Elevator Repair Service did a really weird, stylized version with everyone talking really fast.
