Review by CATHERINE AILANJIAN

What I liked

Getting to experience the action/drama taking place in many locations and levels around the theater was a new and captivating experience! I thoroughly enjoyed how Dana Beardsley Crotwell explored new possibilities for Shakespeare’s female characters through such a wide variety of contexts.

What I didn't like

There seemed to be an issue with a curtain just inside one of the stage doors – it interfered with smooth entrances and exits by the actors.

My overall impression

I would describe Leaving Shakespeare as engaging and engrossing. Even as someone who isn’t familiar with all of the characters explored, I found myself drawn into their stories and wanting to learn more.
