"This play is smart, sexy, and at all the right moments, very funny. It also manages to keep the audience engaged by always keeping something bubbling beneath the surface."

MATTHEW MARTIN uncertified reviewer June 27, 2018
Walking into this show, I was fairly excited. As a "Hamlet" fan I couldn't wait to see this story come to life. It was brilliant! All three actors brought their respective characters to such depth it was just a joy to watch! The script played with the already existing play and added such fun that you couldn't help but want more when the curtain came down. This made me want to go back and re-read "Hamlet" and look for all the connections between Laertes and Hamlet, and see how the ending of the original play becomes more tragic when after you've seen this play. Well done!... full review
