TV Review: A likable take on Shakespeare play

Post Gazette: "But here comes Kenneth Branagh, the busiest current interpreter of Shakespeare on film, with a movie of 'As You Like It,' to debut tonight at 9 on HBO. And he sets it in late-Victorian ... Japan! In justification, he notes that there are actually few place names in Shakespeare's text, 'so you could argue that the Forest of Arden is a mythical place, or, if you like, a state of mind.'"
