What I liked
Come for the killings, stay for the cleverness. Beneath the chaotic surface is a carefully crafted show with an intelligent script and an obvious love for The Bard, even as they call out plot holes, misogyny and racism in throw-away comic moments.
What I didn't like
Just when the expectation of another stabbing and another cloud of red jetsam borders on predictable, the cadence is interrupted by a Titus Andronicus puppet show. I’d kind of like to see that segment worked up as a full Fringe show on its own.
My overall impression
A fun and smart romp through several Shakespeare plays provides an excuse for the four performers to deploy hundreds of costumes and props, dozens of fights with a zany array of weapons, multiple audience member cameos, and a puppet show in a fast-paced hour.
