REVIEW: STAGE BEAUTY (Lions Gate) Directed by Richard Eyre
Shakespearean gender politics simmer but never come to a boil when King Charles II (Rupert Everett) decrees that men can no longer play women's roles onstage. As a result, the "grande dame" of Elizabethan theater (Billy Crudup) is marginalized while his former dresser (Claire Danes) becomes the best Desdemona in the business. Recalling John Madden's Shakespeare in Love (1998), the film comes to life only when the actors drop the mannered period ephemera--which, unfortunately, is far too seldom. Richard Dorment
