"Shakespeare in the Shadows" deftly captures the diminuendo and crescendo, the whisper and the roar of Shakespeare's prosody-from the storm tossed, supernatural world of "The Tempest" to the dank, dark corridors of Macbeth's Dunsinane. This riveting one man show directed by the award winning Joshua Dylan Mellars ("Tango Illusions," "Heavens Mirror," "Play Like a Lion") highlights the Bard's most intriguing characters as they come grittily alive with beguilingly otherworldly cinematography and an unflinchingly bold performance by Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) affiliate Guildhall trained actor Mark Cohen.
