FOOLISH is William Shakespeare as focused through a J. Chavez lens; the Shakespearian wit, plotting, and poetic language are all here, as are contemporary versions of his characters, but it is all sublimely Chavezian in its edgier execution. Epic in every sense of the word, this is a wonderfully dark comedy; by turns gleefully hilarious and heartbreakingly touching in its lyrical callowness, it will provide a field day for directors and actors when it is staged. And I hope to see it when it is.
