"William Shakespeare's plays often explore the complexities and foibles of love; in Shakespeare in Love, which was adapted for the stage by Lee Hall from Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard's Oscar-winning screenplay, love becomes the driving force behind one of the world's greatest playwrights. Hall's adaptation is a fresh and fun theatrical take on the film. Fountain Hills Theater's production is well cast, well directed, and a valentine for theatre lovers, Shakespeare fans, and romantics of all ages...With a lovely balance between wit and vulnerability, Spenser Borschel shines as William Shakespeare. His portrayal perfectly captures the struggling artist grappling with his own limitations who is dumbstruck with love, as well as rediscovering his ability to write, once he meets Viola. Shelby Daeffler is superb as Viola. Her passionate performance radiates charm while also embodying the spirit of a young woman who defies societal norms in pursuit of her dreams. Borschel and Daeffler are a couple in real life and their on-stage chemistry is electric and palpable..." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
