Union students have developed “an appetite for eloquence” or “an appetite for Shakespeare” according to William Lacey, guest director of Shakespeare in Cameo: “Two Gentlemen of Verona” continuing this week at Yulman Theater.
“When the students came into this, they weren't sure how they
were supposed to approach Shakespeare,” Lacey says. “But as they clarified their
thoughts, they discovered that Shakespeare gives them the rhythms and the impulses, that
he provides them with a lot more than the contemporary playwright does.”
Lacey is former director of the School of Theatre Arts and professor
emeritus at Boston University.
