Anne of the Thousand
Days
Maxwell Anderson
 |
| April Culver and Ivette Duncan |
To produce Anne of the
Thousand Days on the stage is a huge undertaking, given the breadth of
events and the number of players with names familiar both to history and
Shakespeare buffs. Dragon Productions
has taken up the challenge of presenting on its intimate stage with a cast of
eight this sweeping drama involving twenty named characters and a number of other
servants and singers. Unfortunately for
a number of reasons that range from casting to directing to performances to
creative treatment, the daring undertaking is not successful.
