Shakespeare's poem "Venus and Adonis," based on a section of Ovid's Metamorphoses, includes a literal sex goddess and a goring by boar, and is notable for containing some of the writer's most explicit material. With Portland theater regulars Rebecca Ridenour and Matthew Kerrigan in the lead roles, and direction from Shaking the Tree's Samantha Van Der Merwe, this dose of Shakespeare should be a welcome alternative to its in-the-park brethren.
