TU PUNTUACIÓN

What if William Shakespeare never existed... until now? Our Modern Bard is caught in a love triangle of confused sexuality, cross dressing, mistaken identity, and bedroom trysts. Does Shakespeare love his lusty best friend, Wilma Hartford, who's also a drag queen, or his lovely long-time girlfriend Anne Hathaway? This battle to understand Shakespeare's true heart is a comic romp. All the while, Shakespeare peddles his screenplays in Hollywood. Renaissance and modern sensibilities clash when an all-male stage version of Macbeth and the misogynistic low-budget film "The Taming of the Shrew" open simultaneously. The combustion makes "The Bard," played by comedic genius Jason D. Johnson, the most controversial screenwriter in Hollywood. www.billyshakespearethemovie.com

A pleasure for Shakespeare lovers.

This is a great film for those who are well versed in Shakespearean verse. The nuances of the true Bard's life are referenced throughout the film. The dialogue is witty and timely. This was obviously a labor of love. Deborah Voorhees, the writer and director of Billy Shakespeare has accomplished what many independent film makers strive to accomplish, to see their story through from conception to delivery. The main characters Jason D Johnson, Catharine Pilafas and Phillip Collins are all continuing to pursue their love of cinema. Their performances in this film have become a springboard for them and others involved in this production to continue following their respective artistic passions. Whether or not Billy Shakespeare is gay, straight or bisexual is secondary to whether or not a modern day Shakespeare would have his true voice distorted by the overly dominant control systems of today's corporate media makers.
