What I liked

I have to admit (though I hate to) that Shakespeare is super intimidating to me, and I’ve never really understand the language. However, Bag o’ Bones and Co. did a really great job with creating a relaxed, or chill, if you will, environment at Three Clubs where, it doesn’t matter if you hate Shakespeare, love Shakespeare, or are somewhere in between, the ensemble does a great job turning something so complex into such a simple subject with a simple meaning. I’m seeing a lot of shows, and it was great to just sit down, relax, and enjoy some time not worrying about “watching” a show, but rather, relaxing, hanging out, and discovering a performance.

What I didn't like

Nothing to do with the show particularly, but Three Clubs is not necessarily built for performances in the back, so be sure to sit as close to the stage as you can for the best view.

My overall impression

super chill, lots of complex Shakespeare made simple through a universal topic, and laid back AF
