What I liked

I liked the pace of the sketches and the variety of topics and situations.

What I didn't like

Some of the sketches that were set up in the corners of the room made it difficult to see the full performance. While it is a small space, I think the positioning of all the action could be more centralized in the room.

My overall impression

What a unique play this was. Using Shakespeare’s female characters as a launching point to illustrate women’s issues today, that’s a bold undertaking! There was humor, compassion and the sketches even illustrated constructive solutions for resolving typical relationship problems. The actors did a great job in their multiple roles and diverse characters. It was a very heartfelt play and the content stuck with me long after it was over.
