| But McTeer did Shakespeare quite well when she appeared as another male character, Petruchio, in The Taming of the Shrew in the park. | |

| She's actually played Petruchio twice, as well as appearing in A Midsummer Night's Dream and As You Like It with the RSC and as Beatrice opposite Mark Rylance's Benedick in the West End. The idea that she can't "do Shakespeare" is laughable, and for my money, makes the rest of the supposed "review" suspect. | |

| Her Petruchio was also, to me, bland. I think she might make a good Kate. Also, Mockingbird, I think you shouldn't cast dispersions until you see the show. Let's leave it as I didn't like this production. I'd also like to point out that the sound engineering was poor (I sat in 1st row mezz) -- too loud. | |

| Whether you liked the production or what the sound engineering was like is irrelevant -- I am taking issue with the specific claim that McTeer can't "do Shakespeare," despite having done so for the RSC, the Globe, and a Mark Rylance commercial production. Also, the word you are looking for is 'aspersions.' |

| Mockingbird, you're on a tear -- castigating a lowly theater goer -- reading your second hand posts about McTeer's abilities (did you see her do any of these Shakespeare plays that starred the actress?) and your defense of Theresa Rebeck below makes me think that you're a shill. Maybe you're Theresa Rebeck? You seem to protest too much. | |

| (did you see her do any of these Shakespeare plays that starred the actress?) Yes. Any other witless straw-clutching you'd like to attempt? |
