STAGE BEAUTY on DVD
by Andre Soares
Stage Beauty has been around on DVD since March. Similar in theme to the 1998 hit Shakespeare in Love — gender-bending romance in the theater world of days gone by — this 2004 production has its moments, but Jeffrey Hatcher’s tentative script (from his own play, Compleat Female Stage Beauty) leaves much to be desired in terms of character delineation. Ultimately, audiences may feel as confused as the film’s hero/heroine, played with gusto by Billy Crudup.
