This is a sharp, witty piece that keeps you working hard as an audience as you hungrily fathom which Shakespeare plays are being referenced and which allusions to BREAKING BAD are being used. Gus Krieger - who also plays "Lord Walter White, a scholar" - has constructed an artful combination of Will and Walt, that really had the audience eating out of his hands.
