My overall impression

What a great and glorious show—a tight and hysterically funny evening with an amazing cast totally committed to a vaudeville-like journey which asks the question, “What might have happened to Romeo and Juliet after their unfortunate demise?” It’s worth the trip to the Flight Theatre at the Complex to find out. From the brilliant and whacked-out mind of Matt Richey (a Shakespeare scholar himself) comes a wonderful absurdist piece of theatre that might have made even Beckett laugh. The ensemble and direction are first-rate—and when all sorts of Shakespearian characters come together to be directed by a sprite-like Faust…well, that’s just the beginning. So worth coming out to see this!
