Jane Anger - 2022 - 5/10

Jane is the “dark lady”, muse for Shakespeare’s sonnets.
After a brief introduction, she disappears for much of the play.
Instead, we have the bard and his boorish go-fer huddled in their one room.
Will’s pen has run dry. He recalls old triumphs, yet suffers writer’s block.
Jane does eventually reappear, as does Anne Hathaway (the wife).
For a feminist work, the females don’t do much; wife Anne is inaudible.
The humor is silly, primarily delivered by the men, who show razor rapport.
Forced farce, tries too hard to be funny.
