An inspiring documentary that follows a diverse group of California high school students as they compete in a Shakespeare Festival unlike any you have ever seen. This unique program counts many of Hollywood's biggest stars among its alumni and alumnae.
Leave your thoughts about Shakespeare High.
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeIf Shakespeare High lacks the tightness and emotional tension a competition doc needs to take off, we get to know enough of these preternaturally self-assured kids to care about what happens to them beyond the finals. |
| Slant MagazineRobert TumasThese SoCal kids are passionate about their craft and it shows in their renditions of the famous bard's work. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenPerforming Shakespeare can save children's lives. That is the persuasive argument of Alex Rotaru's documentary Shakespeare High, an inspiring, if too short and overcrowded, examination of the competition among high schools at the 90th annual Drama Teachers Association of Southern California Shakespeare Festival. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt's impossible not to root for these driven, high-spirited participants - and for the longevity of this invaluable program. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonAlex Rotaru's very busy documentary focuses more on the kids' stories than on their work; considering how sensational some of them are, it's probably a strategic advantage. |
| New York PostSara StewartStage performance is good training for life, claims this documentary about a high school Shakespeare competition. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineThere's a formula to this kind of documentary and Shakespeare High is no exception. Give it a shot; you'll be surprised how quickly you get caught up in these kids' worlds. |
| Time OutDavid FearUnless you really dig "Glee"-level displays of high-school drama geekery, you and your date may want to quickly exeunt. |
