NEW YORK—Over the years, the works of William Shakespeare have been transposed, transplanted, and transported into more settings, eras, and situations than one can count. The latest effort is the very enjoyable “These Paper Bullets!” which uses the Bard’s comedy “Much Ado About Nothing” as a template.
Writer Rolin Jones has moved the setting to 1964 London, adding in more than a little history of the Beatles for a very trippy journey. Billie Joe Armstrong provides the songs for this off-Broadway presentation by the Atlantic Theater Company.
The cast and creative team have done an excellent job in recreating the feeling of the 1960s.
