What I liked
The whole experience.
What I didn't like
N/A. School of Night always knocks it out of the park.
My overall impression
Like taking a glance at an alien culture, this is a perfectly rendered piece of ancient Roman theatre. I haven’t ever seen quite this mix of heightened-language storytelling and dance with the eyes of these ancient characters peering out through the stylized masks. See how much of Shakespeare was actually pulled from these words, the most obvious being passages that wound up in Macbeth. I’m not even making a ton of sense because I’m still letting this thing sink in. See it. Director/translator Christopher Johnson’s quick introduction to the play is worth the price of admission. See it tonight while you still can.
