Hilarious and well put together - I laughed so hard it hurt. So did everybody else. This was truly an amazing show, don't miss it. The actors had as much improvised work as prepared and everything felt alive and fresh. If you want a really fun show this will work, and honestly it doesn't matter if you like Shakespeare or not.
