Absolutely hilarious, witty and probably the most electrifying play I've seen in recent memory--BARD none.

These three actors have more talent than should be ever possible

Totally over the top, slapstick fun. Not required that you are familiar with Shakespeare's works though if you are, I think you will have an added level of enjoyment.

There was a little audience participation. Three guys manage to pull off the whole show and they are really exceptional comedic actors. I was very, very impressed. Use of props was also outstanding, considering that the guys were playing women, and multiple characters within minutes. How the heck did they switch back and forth so fast without getting a migraine? :)

A little ridiculous at times, but pure fun.
