Still Star-Crossed by Melinda Taub6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() So many talented English, Australian, and American actors. While fast paced, it did do the job of establishing the conflict, introducing the players, and teasing just enough to whet your appetite. All that to say that I enjoyed the episode. I bet he'd be tickled that his play spurned a new tale AND TV show. Oh, not to mention all of the in jokes and innuendos throughout his plays. ![]() Mind you, Shakespeare borrowed heavily from other sources ("The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet" and "Palace of Pleasure"), rewrote and adapted other writers' concepts, and his history plays are straight up Tudor propaganda. It's a TV show based on a YA novel that used secondary characters from a play where all female roles were played by men. It's interesting how certain reviewers (is it even released in Luxembourg yet?) are reacting negatively to the casting. ![]()
