  3. National pride, unexpectedly, in 'Henry V' at Stratford Shakespeare Festival

    STRATFORD, ONTARIO &mdash; Of all of William Shakespeare's plays, "Henry V" is the drama most often interpreted as patriotically British. In the 1944 film version, Laurence Olivier used the young king's inspiring St. Crispin's Day speech, with its soaring rhetoric hailing "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers," to inspire his countrymen to fight not against the French forces in the play but against their real-life Nazi foes. But, in this of all summers, when the Union Jack is flying across London hailing the remarkable achievements of British athletes, and when film director Danny Boyle unveiled a new and inclusive celebration of English history as the stunning opener to the Olympic Games, you just don't expect the gigantic flag that the audacious Des McAnuff unfurls at the end of "Henry V," his last Shakespeare production as artistic director of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.

  6. BROADWAY REVIEW: Savvy, bizarre, shrewd 'Jesus Christ Superstar' connects

    NEW YORK &mdash; At the top of the Broadway transfer of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's &ldquo;Jesus Christ Superstar,&rdquo; there's a clever little pre-curtain announcement, spoken by the show's director, Des McAnuff, and wisely retained from the hit Canadian production last summer: &ldquo;Unwrap your candy any time you want,&rdquo; it roughly goes. &ldquo;The score will drown you out.&rdquo;

  8. Second thoughts on 'The Addams Family'

    "The Addams Family" seemed to have everything going for it when the musical opened on Broadway two years ago: a book by the creators of the mega-hit "Jersey Boys"; two exceedingly popular stars, Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth; and a title known to trigger fond memories and finger-snaps from any number of people who recall the 1960s sitcom of the same name.
