My overall impression

Bravo! I have to say this is in the top 5 shows I’ve seen at Fringe this year. The writer/solo performer is delightful on stage. I loved that he worked in the audience and a few times his musicians who were spot on and in period costumes to boot. I do have some Shakespeare knowledge so I think, some things were easier for me to understand than someone without prior knowledge, but even some of the material was over my head. The writer is obviously well versed and intelligent when it comes to Classical literature and this show is a wonderful treat compared to some of the other garbage seen at this fringe. It’s a shame that this and other shows here at Fringe (that are way above their league) are forced to share in the basking light of other shows that never should have been allowed as part of the Fringe. I hope in the future the Fringe runners will take heed, and actually look for QUALITY shows like “Last Night Out” and only allow Quality on the stage. We as a community must set a higher bar and give Theater in this town a great name, not just a good name… Hats off to you Shakespeare and I hope you continue to bring great work to Hollywood in the future!
