“Legendary theatere director Peter Brook's Love Is My Sin is an English major's dream come true: an understated staging of Shakespeare's sonnets, performed by theatre veterans Natasha Parry and Michael Pennington. Divided into four sections, the 31 sonnets chosen by Brook vacillate between the passions and jealousies of love, but the shadow of time passing hovers in the background. Much more than a reading, but not a fully fleshed narrative, Love Is My Sin captures Shakespeare's reflections on love and life from an intimate perspective not seen in his plays.”
