Done by an acting class?

Holy cow, the acting in this is terrible. The people just stand there and recite the lines without any characterization or even energy. I couldn't even watch it all the way through. The woman who played Portia was the only bright spot, which is why I gave it more than one star (the other star is for the creative idea). The others desperately needed some good directing, which didn't happen.

I have no problem at all with this production being in modern dress, and in theory nothing against the stripped-down production, but some choices didn't work for me at all. The assassination scene was very oddly staged and didn't add anything new IMHO. And although I've often wanted to hear Antony's funeral speech done in a more intimate fashion, this one overdid it.

Why was this even made into a film? I have to assume its only release was to Youtube.
