| Joseph Fiennes as Shakespeare imbues his Bard with the strong will he needs to pull off his dual pursuit of Viola (Paltrow) and theatrical success, while Geoffrey Rush is delightfully daffy as in-debt theater impresario Philip Henslowe. ``Baz found a way to make a movie version of very complex poetic text that was very richly true to Shakespeare,'' said Rush, whose Henslowe runs the Rose Theatre and is one of the new film's many memorable comic characters. Curiously, as O'Connell notes, there was a "revival" of biblical theater in the 1590s and again in 1602 in plays using the Old Testament or the Apocrypha and written by Thomas Lodge, Robert Greene, George Peele, Samuel Rowley, William Byrd and others for Philip Henslowe and the Admiral's Men, but he offers no explanation for their sudden reappearance. |
