WOMEN OF WILL ** 1/2 out of ****
THE GYM AT JUDSON
Women Of Will is unquestionably the best lecture you'll find on or off Broadway. If it were a lecture rather than a piece of theater, it would certainly be the best bit of acting in a classroom setting. But as it is, this look at the female characters of William Shakespeare and how they chart his growth as an artist is deeply frustrating. Neither fish nor fowl, it clearly demonstrates that Tina Packer has the skill and insight to accomplish either goal -- lecture or theater -- but seems incapable of choosing one.
This lecture/master class/night of theater at the Gym at Judson in New York City features Packer and costar Nigel Gore. With just a dash of lighting, a few modest props and a great sound design (excellent contributions from Les Dickert, Valerie Therese Bart and Daniel Kluger), Packer introduces and performs scenes from the canon, dashing from Romeo & Juliet to Macbeth and on with aplomb.
