The culture cracked down on itself: on Friday night KGTV, an ABC affiliate in San Diego, televised the memorial service for Williams' victims; then, for roughly 35 minutes, it dropped its regular programming and showed only a text message urging parents to turn off the TV and spend time talking to their kids...

This is simply one example where the play tries too hard to be funny and ends up failing to portray the subtle themes present in the original text. Benjamin Evett’s superb and intricate performance as Calaban is particularly wasted, as the deeper issues behind his character are not explored. When the savage licks the drunken Stephano’s boots as a mark of his devotion to his new master, it should be a slightly revolting...
