Who among us hasn't wondered what would happen if you combined U2 and Shakespeare???

Well, the Troubador Theatre Company in southern California has an answer to that question. They?re putting on a show called As U2 Like It for the next few weeks at the Falcon Theatre in Burbank, California. It?s a comedy that brings together Williams Shakespeare?s play with the music of U2 and lyrics changed to fit the bard?s storyline. They recently got some news coverage on ABC-7 in Los Angeles:

In addition to that good review, Variety magazine gave the production this praise:

Director Matt Walker keeps the energy high and the laughs consistent, and he is a welcome presence onstage as the court fool Touchstone. There is no credited writer for the show, yet mention must still be made of the cleverness of many of the altered U2 song lyrics and the brilliance of the scene in which it?s pointed out that many U2 songs sound the same, whereupon multiple song stanzas are sung simultaneously to the same backup tune to prove the point.

Hmmmm. The old ?all U2 songs sound the same? stuff? Okay. Yawn.

In addition to the TV report above, there?s also a video collage showing what the production looks like:

If you think this is right up your alley, the production is running through September 14. Visit the Falcon Theatre web site for more information.

mała profanacja wg mnie jeśli chodzi o tekst

czy U2 wyraziło zgodę na to?

[Maja]

Nie mam pojęcia. Nie zauważyłam nigdzie jakiejkolwiek informacji na temat zgody (lub odmowy) U2.

Nie sądzę, by coś takiego ich w ogóle interesowało. Z zajawek wynika straszne gówno ( i to wcale nie dlatego, że " profanuje " jakieś piosenki ). Poza tym coś mi się zdaje, że ich zgoda jest w ogóle niepotrzebna, bo mamy do czynienia z parodią.
