Falstaff, a play by Shakespeare, presented by Shakespeare's Globe at Pace University. Falstaff, is, well, dominated by Falstaff, in this case Christopher Benjamin who gives a performance of such richness and depth that he conjures up the legendary Falstaffs of the past. Could Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree have been any better? Excellent performances too by the Ford, Andrew Havill, and Mistress Page, Serena Evans, and Sarah Woodward as Alice Ford. The rest are not exactly A level, but make a good solid ensemble, in a picture perfect, joyous production. Hats off to the director Christopher Luscombe and Janet Bird who painted such a pretty picture with the sets and costumes. Shakespeare of this caliber is rare in NYC. While Merchant is packing them in uptown with a movie star, this is probably the best Shakespeare we're likely to see until the RSC comes in the summer of 2011.
