Review - Bound In A Nutshell & Woodhull at The Fringe
Imagine Hamlet infused with a shot or two of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and you'll get an idea of the atmosphere of Moonwork's very clever and entertaining Bound In A Nutshell. Adaptors Gregory Sherman and Gregory Wolfe (who also directs) craft a new script exclusively out of lines from Shakespeare's text, resetting famous scenes and reassigning classic quotations into new contexts and creating a modern day setting where the Prince of Denmark is imprisoned in a mental institution, a surveillance camera fixed on him 24/7, for the murder of Polonius.
Photo Flash: the boys: the sherman brothers' story
'the boys: the sherman brothers' story' is an intimate journey through the lives of Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman, the astoundingly prolific, Academy Award-winning songwriting team that defined family musical entertainment for five decades. The feature-length documentary, conceived, produced and directed by two of the songwriters' sons, takes audiences behind the scenes of the Hollywood magic factory and offers a rare glimpse of a unique creative process at work. It also explores a deep and longstanding rift that has kept the brothers personally estranged throughout much of their unparalleled professional partnership. BroadwayWorld is pleased to bring you some images from the film.
