Love's Fire: Seven New Plays Inspired by Seven Shakespearean Sonnets Book

An extremely interesting sampler of several playwrights' very different styles operating within very similar themes. Though the collection is weighted more toward comedies (and the less comedic are rather stylized), the vast variety of interpretations would make it difficult for me to believe that one could flip through without finding at least one of the pieces enjoyable. For myself, said piece was John Guare's The General of Hot Desire. I found it very reminiscent of Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses stylistically'he blends some chillingly beautiful (modern) language with creative staging and structure and manages to breathe life back into religious mythology without taking the whole ordeal too seriously. Overall, a creative concept and a fun, light read!
