My overall impression

Ever wish you could sit and chat or hold court with a person from the past? And maybe enjoy a drink or two while doing it? Well Shakespeare’s Last Night Out is perfect show for you! Sitting in an small bar you are transported back to the late 17th century with the help of two wonderful musicians as you walk into the side of Three Clubs. Upon entering you get the feeling that the man laying passed out on the table is someone you can’t wait to hear spill his drunken knowledge. And would be correct as that is Mr. Shakespeare himself, who through the process of an hour or so takes you the journey of his life. Utilizing the whole space, you learn about his family, friends, and enemies during Victorian England. I’m not sure what I enjoyed more, watching him move about the room, going in and out of characters, or watching as how one woman managed to play over 10 instruments through show without missing a beat. I love musicals. Especially ones I can interact with and I hope to see this again in a larger area outside of the Fringe sooner rather than later.
