What I liked
Four killer actors who make Shakespeare sound like extemporaneous speech. Their understanding of the language was so skilled that I understood some scenes I’d never unlocked before, even ones I’d seen performed numerous times. Really fresh and fun takes on these classics. Wish I could see another performance to see them play different roles!
What I didn't like
I would have loved to see more scenes likes Future Instant!
My overall impression
Brilliantly conceived, well-acted, and a lot of fun. Four facile actors take you on a tour of relationships in a set of short Shakespeare scenes. The catch? The audience draws their names from envelopes to see who is playing which roles each show! Come for the likely rom-com gender swaps, stay for the exceptional text work and creativity. Also, there’s a bar. Get thee to the funnery!
