My overall impression
This production was fun and creative. I attended the performance with my 12 year old daughter. It was definitely family friendly and a good option for all ages. The bright colored costumes and props along with the fast and frantic pace kept our attention for the whole time. Familiarity with some of Shakespear’s most popular plays and characters will help you appreciate the experience more. If you’re going with folks unfamiliar with the Bard, you’ll want to be ready to explain some of the elements of Romeo and Juliette, MacBeth, Hamlet, and the Twelfth Night among other plays to get some of the humor. The actors are full of energy, enthusiasm and personality. This blended with live music and physical comedy make for an entertaining 70 minutes. My 12 year old said that she enjoyed the experience and stated that she was glad that we went. In the world of You-tube and Instagram, that’s is a pretty high rating for a preteen. If you’re a Shakespeare fan and you’re looking for a Fringe performance that you can bring the whole family, this is a great choice.
How lucky are we to live in Los Angeles and have access to such wonderful performing arts options! Thank you Hollywood Fringe Festival.
