Posted: 3/24/10 at 6:27amI enjoyed the 2009 productions and would like to pay another visit to the Old Vic this summer. Is Volume 2 worth seeing?

I enjoyed AS YOU LIKE IT, though it's probably one of the darkest AYL's that's ever been staged.
TEMPEST I missed, though I've heard very good things about it.

Posted: 3/24/10 at 10:41amI'll give the minority opinion on The Tempest and say that this production is interminable, with none of the actors particularly well-cast. As You Like It is stunning, but definitely darker than usual. That one is worth seeing, in my opinion.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Really? NO ONE well-cast? But Ferdinand is the sort of role that Ed Bennett plays so very very well. D:
I'm still frickin' looking forward to the pair of 'em coming to London. :3

Didn't both The Tempest and As You Like It close on the 13th?
Anyway, I didn't see As You Like It, but I did see The Tempest and I enjoyed it but wasn't blown away.
