There's a contagious happiness, warmth and openness in this Shakespeare play. I guarantee you will not be bored.
Snow on Halloween in Chicago. Cue a chilled-out Illyria with an island vibe, a reggae-underscored tale of love and misadventure set amid the driftwood and sand of Negril, maybe, or the denizens of Mo Bay’s Hip Strip. The audience responded like cruise ship passengers finally arriving in Ocho Rios and feeling the sun.
So it goes with LaVonne, an actress who can drive Shakespeare poetry with energy and verve and yet also assume the right kind of guileless air that makes Viola one of Shakespeare’s greatest characters, an example of optimistic youth, buffeted by the waves of life but never sunk and a keen improvisor, adapting her feelings and goals as new circumstances present themselves. Phillips’ show, which I saw after watching a different show with a heavy, intrusive concept, also is scaled just right.
