The
Cleveland Shakespeare Festival's current production of “The Famous
History of the Life of King Henry VIII” – or – “All Is True,”
by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher, is the perfect antidote for
stuffy, long-winded “Bard of Avon” productions of Shakespeare.
“Henry VIII,” shortened to ninety minutes, modernized and
well-played, the cast dressed in familiar contemporary business
attire à
la “The
West Wing,” is refreshing as a breath of fresh, warm summer air.
