Further cementing a fruitful professional partnership after their successful collaborations on The Seagull, Betrayal and Old Times in London and New York, Kristin Scott Thomas and director Ian Rickson come up with the goods again for Electra, a powerhouse rendition of Sophocles’ classic tragedy. Staged in the round at London's Old Vic using Frank McGuinness’ 1997 adaptation of the text, the production strikes a smart balance between antiquity and modernity. Sparse, period-suggestive but not literal design and eerie music (by rock star Pj Harvey) rub up against instantly accessible performances, stippled with surprisingly effective moments of humor. Thomas rightly

New York — Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad will star on Broadway this fall in a modern take on William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," a revival that will add an intriguing element of racial contrast to the classic tale of two star-crossed lovers.
"The last thing we wanted to do was to do a sort of pompous, classic version of `Romeo and Juliet,'" said director David Leveaux, a five-time Tony Award nominee. "I'm just taking away all the wallpaper and mantelpieces, all the kind of pompous stuff we associate with grand Shakespeare productions, and try to go as simple as possible."
Producers said Monday that previews at the Richard Rodgers Theatre will begin Aug. 24 with an opening night set for Sept. 19. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on April 8.
The production will also star two-time Tony Award nominee Jayne Houdyshell as the Nurse and Tony nominee Joe Morton as Lord Capulet.

Werner Herzog messes with genre, and ostriches, in this black comedy. By Xan Brooks
My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done finds God in a cereal box and Satan on an ostrich farm. It's a deadpan black comedy, directed by Werner Herzog, co-produced by David Lynch and loosely based on the case of Mark Yavorsky, an amateur actor who became so unhinged by his role in Sophocles's Electra that he tried to kill his mother with a samurai sword. Michael Shannon plays the Yavorsky figure (here renamed Brad McCullum) as a shambling shaman with a 1,000-yard stare. Chloë Sevigny co-stars as his passive fiancee, while Willem Dafoe completes the trio as the pensive cop who lays siege to Brad's humdrum suburban house. Nobody, least of all the cop, seems quite sure what's going on. "I don't mean to alarm you, Miss, but it's all a little strange," Dafoe...
