![]() Theater in London is booming-when the theaters aren't closed, that is, by plague warnings or bad debts. "Shakespeare in Love" is set in late Elizabethan England (the queen, played as a young woman by Cate Blanchett in " Elizabeth," is played as an old one here by Judi Dench). The screenplay is by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, whose play " Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" approached "Hamlet" from the points of view of two minor characters. The movie serves as a reminder that Will Shakespeare was once a young playwright on the make, that theater in all times is as much business as show, and that "Romeo and Juliet" must have been written by a man in intimate communication with his libido. I was carried along by the wit, the energy and a surprising sweetness. Is this a movie or an anthology? I didn't care.
