'ELIZABETH': OFF WITH ITS HEAD

New York Post:



"IT'S a pretty bold move for a modern author to feature William Shakespeare as a central character. Tom Stoppard pulled it off successfully with 'Shakespeare in Love,' but the late Canadian playwright Timothy Findley was unable to work similar magic in his 'Elizabeth Rex,' which also revolves around no less a major figure than Elizabeth I. This historical fantasy, being presented by the Center Stage, is both schematic and overly cluttered."
