[NEohioPAL] OSF's "As You Like It"

Thu Jul 23 05:25:40 PDT 2009

If you like our mosquitoes, you'll love our frogs!

"As You Like It is the most recent example of OSF magic.

"As it happens, the outdoor lagoon setting on the Stan Hywet estate is the
perfect setting for love in the woods, making this As You Like It a play you
simply must experience."

"If you've ever wished that a Shakespeare production could somehow be
outfitted with annotations and footnotes, to help you understand what's
going on at every moment, there's a much easier (and more enjoyable)
alternative. Just sit in the audience while the Ohio Shakespeare Festival
<http://www.ohioshakespeare.com>  is performing.  As supervised by artistic
director Terry Burgler, each OSF outing is a marvel of clarity and
precision, rendering even the most obtuse digressions by Will suddenly
comprehensible. The result is a kind of euphoric time travel in which one
feels transported back 400 years to the Globe Theatre, relishing all of the
bard's words with immediate glee just as his audiences did then."

"The light tone is fitting for the comedy's summer setting near the lagoon
at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens. In Ohio Shakespeare Festival's eighth season,
the stage is situated near the manor's teahouse, with the set built into a
cliff of foliage that creates a perfect natural backdrop... (Tess) Burgler
and Joy Marr create a sweet, teasing dialogue as cousins... (and) Jason Marr
creates quite the ardent lover as Orlando."

Kerry Clawson, Akron Beacon Journal
