What I liked

The movement pieces and body-storytelling aspects are especially exciting. The ensemble moves fluidly through the audience from one vignette to the next. The show is interactive for audience members, which makes you feel like you’re personally involved in the hope, heartbreak, and redemption of the characters.

What I didn't like

I wanted it to go on longer! And I had hoped for an ending that somehow tied the characters together more. While it was satisfying to see their personal journeys, I wanted to see more of them cross paths.

My overall impression

this is an experimental review of Shakespeare sonnets, soliloquies, and speeches, bridged by excellent movement pieces, mime, and well curated music.
