What I liked

Clever play with language and parody of classic characters. Was impressed and occasionally moved by several of the performances. Banquo in particular was wonderful to watch.

What I didn't like

Awkward timing for periods of the show. The language didn’t flow as, I’m sure, the playwright intended it to. The musicality of the well-crafted text was often lost. Certain performers were over-the-top (not ironically) which lead to the loss of energy for the ensemble as a whole. Lots of big personalities on stage, at times it was exhausting.

My overall impression

Fun show to see with friends. Would recommend to Shakepeare nerds and parody people. Would like to see again after a few more runs.
