Central Supply Company 7 TODAY Shakespeare is probably the most pro­ BY KIM PEREIRA duced playwright today, almost four cen­ turies after he lived. Whether garbed in the flowing styles of the Peking Opera or Kabuki, or nude in an Off-Broadway production; on makeshift platforms in remote villages in Southeast Asia or inundated by electronic special effects in the theatres of North Amer­ ica, every Shakespearean production reaf­ firms the timelessness of this Elizabethan genius whose life and times were so far removed from ours, but whose work finds resonant echoes deep within the ethos cf our diverse cultures. On this continent alone, every year thou­ sands throng to annual celebrations of his plays, fittingly called Festivals, in places as disparate as a tiny hamlet in Ontario and the bustling center of New York in Central Park; in Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, Texas, Utah and, most recently, Or­ lando, that mecca of glitzy entertainment. That William Shakespeare and Mickey Mouse reside harmoniously in the same city is as much a tribute to the variegated fabric of our society as it is to the timelessness of the Bard .

. . . for all its social commentary Antony & Cleopatra is first and last a tragedy of love and obsession.

What, then, makes a poet who lived so long ago so popular in this age of razzle-dazzling holograms, space shuttles, MTV, and the B-2? Why does Macbeth have as great a following as Madonna? What special quality causes .. these plays to leap the great divide between sixteenth-century London and the global vil­ --:: ::1 lage of today? To say merely that Shake­ .. • , .,,.. speare wrote about universal themes, though ,,,..:..~ . true, is ultimately too generalized to explain· . ..; i ~ ,. • •.. -·· the particular appeal his plays have had from f. • age to age. In fact, one is constantly struck by how alien they may appear to our modern sensibility. The characters seem to belong in a realm that has all but disappeared-kings and queens have been replaced by presidents and senators, clowns and court jesters by stand-up comedians and talk show hosts; courtiers by groupies; and ghosts are all but banished by twentieth-century rationalism. Yet this very ability to draw parallels sug­ gests an essential immutability; perhaps, in the universal scheme of things, our world is not very different from the Elizabethan age.
