What I liked

Solid ensemble work. The cast was absolutely in sync.

What I didn't like

Some action on the floor was lost from the back row.

My overall impression

A refreshingly original take on Shakespeare that fully explores the relationships in Hamlet and is its own riveting and raucous piece of theatre. Clever, witty and heartbreaking. Katelyn Schiller is my favorite Hamlet. Strong cast, well matched. Discovering truly unique works like this are what the joy of fringe is all about.
