Review Were the World Mine

Tanner Cohen reminded me of Adam Lambert (whom Id love to see actually play Puck) in this over-the-top but enjoyable musical spin on Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream. Ill admit at the start I sighed and thought - no, not another gay teen angst movie, but no - he is a put-upon gay lad at school who happens upon a magical spell that makes every other boy at the school fall in love (or lust, at any rate) with other boys - and he gets one for himself, of course. Soon, just about the entire town are captured in his web of mischief. Anyone who has read the play will appreciate that Puck is one of the best comic characters in English literature, and Cohen does a better than decent job at marrying the frustrations and naughtiness of the fairy into a 21st century environment. Wendy Robie is also good as the drama teacher with a little extra bit of magic to her. It suffers a little from being a smidge too theatrical without the lighting budget to support it; and the singing isnt magnificent - but all in all, a courageous effort from Tom Gustafson to tackle quite a tough project. Well worth a watch - but to get the best, it needs concentration.
