What I liked

The hosts are live, they are working with what the audience gives and keeping us all safe. I loved how extreme some of these battle scenes got, the audience members who got on stage had no idea what they were doing but the fun energy had us all commit to the bit. Physical comedy executed by the two actors is so eloquent and smooth. This show is a once in a lifetime experience, quite literally because each audience will commit differently. You don’t want to miss it!

What I didn't like

My overall impression

One of the most entertaining shows I have seen this year, and a brilliant concept. Fans of the bard, rejoice! A unique experience that gives light and laughter to some of Shakespeare’s darkest scenes. This immersive experience uses audience participation to the max. A show with two dynamic hosts who run through all of the deaths in Shakespearean plays, as if it were a game show, with two actors (was three but one died – it’s an inside joke).
