Production by the RSC with Patrick Stewart.
This production kept up the recent trend of updating Shakespeare to a modern setting. This time it's Vegas.
Most of the fun about this production was the endless ways in which they transferred it to a Vegas setting. The choice between three caskets was a television game show, they had musical numbers, an Elvis impersonator and more.
However, it avoided being cheesy by having a consistently strong cast of great actors that meant it had emotion and depth, as Shakespeare should.
