Faran Tahir leads a meticulous ensemble in the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's production through Aug. 6. Critic Terry Byrne says that it's one of the CSC's most exciting and rewarding efforts.

In the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company production, the darkness just keeps spreading in this harrowing drama of ambition, guilt, and revenge, as one murder begets another, and then another, and another.

For the past several weeks, I have been trying to make sense of why “I’LL MEET YOU THERE’ a movie we were hoping to have released in Pakistan was banned. Our sadness stems from the fact that our only intention was to share our work with our fellow Pakistanis. Pakistan has under 250 movie theatres in total. Had the movie released in Pakistan, it would have probably opened in a hand full of cinemas so it was never about making money. The only hope was to draw attention to the issues Pakistanis face on daily basis living in foreign lands.
The movie does not slander any of our core values. It does encourage dialogue on certain issues. The message of the film is to find love, understanding, tolerance and respect. The very values that we have been guided by our creator.
It is disheartening and saddening that although some of the content created domestically pushes boundaries of imagination and our values yet it is completely accepted.
It almost seems like we are being sent a message that DO NOT QUESTION OR DISCUSS issues that might encourage dialogue.
VERY DISSAPPOINTING…

"When we're talking about the Marvel Universe, when we're talking about this fantasy, why do we have to connect this man's actions to a particular ideology which might bring a negative connotation to a very large swath of people?"

So I was talking to a couple of friends of mine who were trying to convince me to think about offering coaching sessions for actors and even friends who are having trouble with work oral presentations. I thought it was an interesting idea. Thoughts? Suggestions? And if interested DM me and we can see if we can make it work.:)
