What I liked

SPOILER ALERT:

The final words of the play struck me with both their simplicity and great power:
Life’s a flash and then is gone
So get out there and do
Before you’re done

What I didn't like

There could me more than one show left so more people can see this great show!

My overall impression

This is not the dull translation you were forced to read in high school. This is you, young warrior, sitting at the king’s hearth, tipsy with mead in the great hall as you sit enraptured by one of the magical bards as he calls to life a tale of one of the great heroes of yore, and outside the night closes in, and the monster approaches!
